	Dawn hopes her passion and creative flare in the kitchen leads you to try these recipes – some new, some traditional and some all time favourites.

Again I have enlisted the help of Bethlehem Health Shop and this time Justine www.letslive.co.nz has helped me with some great ideas for using different grains. This week I have experimented with Quinoa, which is very high in protein, so fantastic when lowering carbohydrate intake and increasing protein where possible.
This can be used as a tasty lunch or add some tinned tuna and use as an evening meal.
