The Honest Palate


An ethical and honest approach to food policy, fitness and nutrition.

Today’s Breakfast (presented at lunch time)
Last night I made quinoa, bok choi and white beans….and failed to document the finished product, whoops.  I have about 2 cups of quinoa leftover and I have seen a trend in eating the stuff for breakfast.  I put some in my oatmeal this morning and it added a nice texture and flavor to usual gruel.  I definitely approve of quinoa for breakfast.
1/4 oatmeal
1/4 quinoa (cooked)
1 banana, sliced
cinnamon
Boiling water and a few drips of milk
Not to get all hippy, but if you’re buying quinoa its more important than ever to buy it with a certified Fair Trade stamp.

Welcome to my blog! I’m Michelle, a 26 year old vegetarian, runner, future doctor, and healthy-living enthusiast. My life revolves around food. Cooking food, eating food, discussing the politics of food. We’re surrounded by so many false advertisements and misconceptions about nutrition, its difficult to know where the truth lies. This is my attempt to make everything a bit clearer.

Follow me while I eat delicious food, cook healthy meals, run marathons, and strive to separate the food truths from lies, while living an exciting life in the Big Apple.
