Quinoa, it's what's for breakfast.
Vegan Creamy Quinoa Breakfast "Oatmeal"
3/4 cup quinoa
2 cups vanilla almond or soy milk (can use dairy milk if "vegan" is not important to you)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (use a full teaspoon if using non-vanilla milk)
pinch of salt
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional--can replace with fruit)
Rinse the quinoa well in a fine sieve. This removes the outer germ and makes the quinoa much tastier.
In a medium sauce pan, bring the milk, cinnamon, vanilla and salt to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa. Reduce to a simmer. Cover and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove lid, stir and continue to simmer until desired creaminess is reached--remember, this is a creamy quinoa, so not all the liquid will be absorbed, but you don't want the quinoa to be undercooked, so give a spoonful (cool it off first!) a quick taste to see what you think. You probably will want to simmer an additional 2-5 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, if desired.
Serves 2-3 as a hearty breakfast.
Need some inspiration on how to jazz it up? Here are our favorite combinations:
Almond and Apricot Creamy Quinoa Breakfast: add a small handful of slivered almonds and sliced dried apricots.
Apple and Raisin Creamy Quinoa Breakfast: dice up half an apple and add some raisins.
Chai Tea Creamy Quinoa Breakfast: while the quinoa is simmering uncovered, add a decaffeinated Chai tea bag to allow the Chai flavors to steep. Add any desired fruit.
Pumpkin Spice Creamy Quinoa Breakfast: add a pinch of nutmeg and ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and 1/2 cup pumpkin puree.
Blueberry Walnut Quinoa Breakfast: add 1/2 cup blueberries and a small handful of chopped walnuts.
Pineapple Ginger Quinoa Breakfast: add minced fresh ginger to taste (or ground ginger) and 1/2 cup chopped pineapple.
What will be your favorite?
Life is sweet,

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
