This is a light but filling breakfast, suitable for Passover or year round!

Berry Breakfast Quinoa

• 1 c. quinoa
• 1 c. milk
• 1 c. water
• 1 t. vanilla
• 2 c. berries
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 1/2 c. coarsely chopped nuts (you can toast them in butter or use as is)
• 1 – 2 T. honey, optional

Rinse quinoa well, drain.  (If you want to soak it, put it in a bowl with water and 1/2 t. apple cider vinegar and let sit covered overnight on your kitchen counter.  Drain and then proceed as follows.)  Put quinoa in a pot over medium heat, and cook about 10-15 minutes, or until quinoa turns golden brown. It will pop as it turns golden brown.

Add milk, water and vanilla to the pot of toasted quinoa.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for about 10 or 15 minutes, until liquid is all absorbed.  After turning heat off, let it stand another few minutes.  Stir in cinnamon, berries and toasted nuts. If you like, you can add the honey at this point.  This can be served warm, or served cold almost like a breakfast cereal, with milk over it.
