No more rice....Quinoa Sushi!

I got this message the other day, and considering we eat rice at least once a week it was very disturbing:

Consumer Reports latest food safety investigation has found troubling levels of arsenic in virtually every rice product we tested – from brown rice to baby cereal, even Rice Krispies. And much higher arsenic levels in people who had just consumed rice. Concerned? So are we. Especially since our nation strictly limits arsenic in drinking water but sets no limits on arsenic in most food and drinks – despite the EPA's stance that no level of exposure to the carcinogenic form of arsenic is 'safe.' It definitely turns me off rice, but one of my "go to" lunches for the kids is veggie sushi. I find it almost as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich, just roll up rice and carrot/cucumber in some seaweed, done! And I thought I was feeding them such a healthy lunch, I was so disappointed to not have this option. Then I remembered this recipe I saw on a blog called "my new roots". Its quinoa sushi! It looks beautiful and I am so going to try it! I thought I'd share.... http://mynewroots.blogspot.com/2012/03/quinoa-spring-sushi-diy-quick-pickled.html
