What with making smoothies at least 5 times a week for breakfast, we have just a day or two for eating cereals, but that might just change with this great kind of recipe that you've posted, Katzen! It makes for a very warming, satisfying first meal of the day! Definitely something we'll be having repeatedly in the future! Thanks for posting! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe] -
There will be no more going back to plain oatmeal now that I have tried it in combination with quinoa! This was just a great breakfast, satisfying and delicious...I especially loved the subtle crunch that the quinoa seeds give this porridge. Although the directions did not say to do so, I gave the quinoa a rinse before adding it to the water to remove the bitter coating. -
This was perfect in every way! Easy to make, delicious, nutritious, quick, satisfying. I always use old fashioned oats and added them at the same time as the quinoa cooking them together for a total of 15 minutes. I think adding the oatmeal took a big of that "edge" off the quinoa. Opted for dried berries this time although I was out of dried blueberries I used blackberries in their place. Drizzled with a little bit of heavy cream, added a pinch of salt and both golden and brown flaxseeds. Made for Veg Tag/November.

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
