Shelby’s youngest child has been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and neutropenia and suffers from numerous food allergies, so she raises her own fruits and vegetables and is a strong advocate for cooking at home to give your children the healthiest meals possible. \u00a0She and her husband are writing a book about adopting children to help others adopt.<\/p>\n

In case you’re not familiar with quinoa, it’s considered a super grain because of its unique qualities AND its gluten free and wheat free. Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain and provides all the essential amino acids in a balanced pattern. Quinoa was so important to the Inca culture, they referred to it as the Mother Grain.<\/p>\n
