In cold weather, we often gravitate to oatmeal as a hot, filling breakfast. As an alternative, next time consider quinoa – a gluten-free, high protein plant food that contain all nine essential amino acids.
As a time saver, I like to use leftover quinoa from last night’s supper. It reheats easily in a few minutes. Dressed with eggs, spinach, tomato and strawberries, it makes for a nutritious start to the day.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this delicious dish.
