I'm sorry to sound harsh, but why are worried about calories? And why do you eat a mere 2 T of quinoa? You look sickly thin, and it's not healthy nor is it attractive. You look as though you need some serious help.
Hi! I really like your recipes and also your creations of oatmeal bowls!!
Jaime- Im sorry it took my so long to reply to your comment, Blogger wasnt allowing me to make replys for quite a while. Now that thats fixed, I dont appreciate you coming on my blog to criticize me. Two tablespoons of DRY quinoa ends up being a fourth of a cup which, when adding everything else to the dish... is perfectly normal for a side dish. I need to count calories so I dont lose any more weight, not as a method of weight loss. Ive been dealing with a number of medical issues and find it rude for you to tell me that Im too thin and sickly. If someone was overweight, I highly doubt you'd walk up to them and say "Wow, youre huge, I think you should go on a diet." Am I correct? Bah.. anyways, you probably wont even read this, never mind reply but I just felt that I needed to get my opinion out there just in case you do.
