millet
Today I tried cooking some millet. Cooking new things is not as hard as I thought it would be. I guess it is just hard breaking out of routine. Isn’t that true for everything? Oh yes, I almost forgot–millet is gluten-free.

teff
I have decided to branch out and try some different whole grains. I always buy the same things over and over–brown rice, oats, oat bran, and cous cous. It is kind of silly how I never ever deviate from those same grains! I thought I would share some of my shopping experiences with you all. [...]

Here’s a good low-carb, high protein snack: boiled peanuts. They are kinda high in sodium and calories but if you leave out the salt they don’t taste so good. Just don’t eat too many…
