0 Breakfast Quinoa

Quinoa (keen-wah) is a light & hearty grain. Also terrific for those couples trying to conceive (TTC).

Makes 2 servings
1/2 cup Quinoa (may be found in the grains section near the couscous)
1 cup of water
1/4 c walnuts
1/4-1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 c milk
1 tbsp unsalted butter or margarine
2 tsp brown sugar
honey to garnish

1. Rinse the quinoa in a bowl or strainer until water runs clear (if you buy pre-washed quinoa, ommit this step)

2. Fill a medium saucepan with water; bring to a boil and stir in the quinoa.

3. Cover and reduce the heat to low & continue to cook until all of the water is absorbed

(about 10-20 minutes.) Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and return to medium heat.

5. Stir in the milk, butter and brown sugar, simmering until all the milk is absorbed

(or unabsorbed, according to your thin or thickness preference.)

6. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts.

7. Divide into bowls and drizzle with honey.

I prefer to add extra milk to my breakfast quinoa after I have divided it into my bowl.

ENJOY!
