Cookie Recipe Using Quinoa Flour

Why do bakers and homemakers alike love using quinoa flour? Well simply because it adds chewiness and nutty flavor to baked goodies and for some reason, the end product seems to be really moist. Now don't you love that as well? I do!

What I love about quinoa is its high-protein content and because of its gained popularity, people have come up with thousands of delicious recipes and quinoa-derived products like cereal and flour. It can either be made from milled or unmilled grains and the color is usually creamy yellow or ivory. Quinoa is gluten-free so this is perfect for people with gluten intolerance. If you are purchasing processed quinoa products make sure it has the "gluten-free" markings otherwise it can be contaminated.

I like the quinoa crispy cookies and for this recipe you will need:

1 cup quinoa flour
¾ cup quinoa flakes
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
½ cup butter
½ cup almond butter
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped walnuts/pecans (or any nut that you prefer)

Mix together honey, brown sugar, butter, nut butter and vanilla. Make sure it turns out to be creamy. In a separate bowl, combine quinoa flour, quinoa flakes and baking soda. Add the dry mixture to the cream mixture and beat until everything is well blended. Add nuts and drop rounded teaspoons of the cookie mixture about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake it for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let the cookies cool for at least 2 minutes before removing them from the sheet. Makes about 3 dozen small cookies. Enjoy!

Food and beverage market is central to consumer perceptions of sustainability

Consumers and Sustainability: Food and Beverage, Personal Care, Household Cleaners, and OTC Medications and Supplements The CPG markets covered are food and beverage, personal care, household cleaners, and OTC medications and supplements. Sustainability means different things to different people. Asked to identify what the term means to them, consumers most frequently respond "the ability to last over time" (76%) and "the ability to support oneself." Sustainability is also strongly associated with environmental concerns, whereby consumers are being challenged to develop and express an "eco-consciousness" in their daily habits and purchases. Thus, nearly half of consumers associate sustainability with conserving natural resources and with recycling.

A Quick Guide To Employee Orientation - Help For Managers & HR

A Quick Guide To Employee Orientation  - Help For Managers & HR We would not be understating the case if we said that orienting employees  to their workplaces and their jobs is one of the most neglected functions  in government.  Countless horror stories exist about how a new employee  has received a ten minute talk with the manager, and directed to his or her  office position, with no further guidance or instruction.  Not only is this  exceedingly stressful for the employee, but it virtually guarantees a very  long period of unproductiveness for the employee.  In this month's PSM Supplement we present an overview of the orientation  process, and a checklist that you can use when orienting new staff.  As  you read the article, keep in mind that orientation is also important for  existing employees if a) they have never received proper orientati...
