Happy Fourth of July! Looking for something new to take to your Fourth of July Celebration? Check out this fun and healthy Red, White, & Blue Quinoa Salad.
Jicama
One of the newest items that I have found a love for is jicama. Jicama is a root that is slightly sweet with the texture similar to a chestnut. Jicama is the white part of this Red, White and Blue Salad and it adds a great crunch to it.
I was so excited I found the jicama at the first store I went to last night. This is an amazing light and fresh salad that is low in calories. Great to take to a potluck or picnic!

In the book you could identify with the characters,
and in the game you could control the events. It is a fun game if you need a break from the more massive online games but
don’t want to limit yourself to a single player game. Most websites use a model similar to that if
e – Bay, where the account is sold to the bidder whose bid is the highest.
