Life is about balance, right? So I ate a batch of oatmeal banana cookies this weekend (it happens to everyone, doesn’t it?!), which meant I had to reel it in and serve up some healthy grains and vegetables to swing the health pendulum back over. Parnsip fries, then this millet and broccolini salad. It’s all about balance. You with me? And yes, I’ll be sharing the cookie recipe soon! Happy Thursday! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
MILLET AND BROCCOLINI SALAD

1.5 c dry millet

2 T fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 c. pine nuts + more to garnish

Unquestionably consider that which you said. Your favourite justification appeared to
be at the internet the easiest thing to remember of. I say to you, I definitely get irked at the
same time as other folks think about concerns that they just do not
understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the whole thing with
no need side-effects , other folks could take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I
submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
