Breakfast Quinoa!
I actually had this for dinner tonight. The reason is because I was craving oatmeal from earlier when a drug rep brought McDonald's breakfast for everyone (including oatmeal) at work. As you know from my initial post and some thereafter, I don't eat oats because they are a grain. But... I do eat quinoa, not often, but at least I can because it's technically not a grain. It's a seed! It definitely hit the spot! Here's the ingredients... enjoy!
Breakfast Quinoa
quinoa
water for boiling
heavy whipping cream or milk
cinnamon
honey
berries or any other fruit
Simply cook the quinoa according to directions (typically it is cooked like rice, 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa (1/2 cup of uncooked quinoa is a nice amount for one). Once the quinoa is cooked, place it in a serving bowl, add the desired amount of cream or milk, then mix in cinnamon and honey if desired until it is sweet to your liking. I think the cinnamon does the trick by itself. Then top with berries or cooked apples! Mmmmmm Mmmmmm!
Note: it takes some time to cook quinoa, so try cooking it the night before so it's ready for a fast go-to breakfast!
