It has been the busiest fall on record for us! We have had weddings, weddings, weddings, birthday, birthdays, birthdays, traveling, events, work, and school. Thus, the blog has been sent to the back burner. But this morning as I ate my new favorite breakfast, I thought - this has to be shared!
Skinnytaste.com is a recipe blog I have been reading for over a year now. I love it! Plus it give weight watcher points and nutritional value to all its recipes which is a huge plus for me. Earlier this fall I stumbled upon a recipe the includes so many wonderful things, I just had to try it. And I've been making it ever since. I love it because it is easy AND makes 4 breakfast meals for me at one time.
Ready to try? Here it is:
Apple Cinnamon Quinoa - oh wait - what is quinoa you might ask? Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) is a gluten free seed that makes a great substitute to rice or couscous. It is extremely easy to make and is chock full of nutritional value! It has a slightly nutty flavor. I find it in my rice aisle for only 2.99 a bag.
Okay, here it is:
APPLE CINNAMON QUINOA
1c. of quinoa
1.5c. of water
cinnamon
2tsp. vanilla
1/2c. apple sauce
1/4c. raisins
1/4c. chopped walnuts
1 apple, chopped
almond milk
Combine the quinoa, water, some cinnamon (I just sprinkle some in - don't you know cinnamon is so good for you too?), and vanilla. Bring to a boil and then simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Take it off the heat and stir in the applesauce, raisins, walnuts and apple. Divide into 4 sealable containers. Done! When you take it out to have in the morning, I warm mine up and then pour a little almond milk in and top with another sprinkle of cinnamon.
A lovely way to start your morning and fill you up till lunch!
