Win: Quinoa Chocolate Cake with Cooked Icing and Strawberry filling

So I was doing a little bit of research, trying to find a flourless chocolate cake recipe that did not involve ground almonds/almond flour and for different ways to use quinoa and this is what I came across. Essentially, this is a flourless chocolate cake that uses quinoa (an alternative grain, alright for celiacs) as the main ingredient. Also, this is one of the few recipes that calls for cooked quinoa instead of quinoa flour, which is what I was looking for. The results, which you can see below, churned out a super dense chocolate cake similar in texture to a moist pound cake that is extremely rich and tasty. You only need a small piece to satisfy your choclate craving. All I can say is yummy...

Here are the links for the cake and the icing should you decide to try and recreate this.

Eating Healthy: Breakfast

No matter how much you work out, you may be physically fit but you can still be unhealthy if you don't watch what you eat. I'm not talking about dieting, simply making better decisions about the things that you consume.
Everybody knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I have taken to trying meals that are health-conscious but will fill me up with nothing but an additional apple until lunch time. I've been reading a few blogs and websites and this is what I've come up with. But note, I only eat this on days when I don't have class, bc there is something about school that makes your stomach 'talk,' it's probably to take advantage of the high potential for embarrassment.

My Breakfast (3-4x a week)
1/2 c Vanilla Yogurt
3/4 c Uncooked Oats (yes, uncooked)
2 Dried Apricot Halves, sliced
3 Dried Plums, sliced
5-6 Nuts of choice (I go for cashews, brazils and almonds)
1/2 Banana, sliced

Throw in a bowl, mix and enjoy! It may not look too appetizing but it is tasty and will keep your stomach content for a good 4-5 hours.
