Healthiest foods / super spices - Day 2

Today's selections included the following 9 of the Real Simple 30 healthiest foods:  almond butter; quinoa; skim milk; eggs; spinach; salmon; olive oil; kale; and broccoli.  Of the 10 spices on the McCormick super spices list, I selected the following 4:  black pepper; garlic powder; ginger; and red pepper.

Actually, I discovered quinoa because I don't recall having had it before.  I quite enjoyed this selection, and think that it could develop into a staple for me.  It's simple, with a nice texture, and I think that it will take on the flavor of what is prepared with/added to it.
