This recipe does not hold together and comes out like bird seed or granola. It has great taste but won’t hold as a bar.

Scrolling through this blog I see so many fresh wholesome foods and it makes me so happy! It’s so refreshing to read all these recipes and I can’t wait to try them all. I’m a blogger as well with an only slightly different cause-gardening. I work with a company called Cayisa to promote learning gardens, sustainable gardening, and reforestation. Cayisa also sells some awesome natural jewelry to support their cause. You should check out the website (www.cayisa.com) and the blog (www.cayisa.wordpress.com)!

question: is the quinoa cooked or uncooked?
