vegan breakfast quinoa
22Sep12
Quinoa was one of those ingredients that I seemed to have a mental block around; I would eat it at potlucks and restaurants, and I would really enjoy it. But, somehow, I just never made it at home. Quinoa is actually a great ingredient to work with, and it is healthy, too! It is a whole grain with tons of nutrients and protein. Plus, it truly is easy to prepare and tasty. Here, I use quinoa in place of breakfast cereal or oatmeal. It had a nutty taste and a good mouth feel.
