QUINOA PORRIDGE
Looking for ideas for the quinoa you picked up at Trader Joe's? Here's a dairy and wheat free breakfast porridge thick, rich and delish for those cold mornings in the Andes. Those with nut allergies may wish to substitute soymilk or regular cow's milk for the almond. Adjust sugar to your taste or substitute with agave syrup or black strap molasses (use half as much). This recipe can easily be doubled.

Steps:
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat and measure in the quinoa. Season with cinnamon and cook until toasted, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Pour in the almond milk, water and vanilla and stir in the brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat until the porridge is thick and grains are tender, about 25 minutes. Add more water if needed if the liquid has dried up before it finishes cooking. Stir occasionally, especially at the end, to prevent burning.

QUINOA BREAKFAST CEREAL
Quinoa (pronounced Kin-wa) is an ancient grain that was a staple food of the ancient Incas of South America. This recipe is a cooked cereal somewhat like oatmeal, but even healthier! It is gluten-free and according to Bob's Red Mill (the brand of quinoa I used), is the most nutrious of all grains. The added flax meal is for boosting your omega-3s. I make this on the weekend, and then reheat a bowl in the microwave.

Steps:
- Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.

BLUEBERRY LEMON BREAKFAST QUINOA
Sweet blueberries and tart lemon pair well in this alternative to oatmeal. High in protein and fiber, quinoa is a great start to your day! I made this up one morning when I had a craving for quinoa and was looking for a change from the usual. Top with extra milk for a thinner consistency. Also good with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.

QUINOA BREAKFAST BOWL
Quinoa has been around for a while, but I'm just now jumping on the quinoa breakfast bowl bandwagon. I've made it several times as a savory side or salad, but never as a warm breakfast cereal. I finally gave it a try last weekend and loved it! -Erica Schmidt, Kansas City, Kansas

Tips:
- Choose the right quinoa: For a fluffy breakfast cereal, use white or tri-color quinoa. Red quinoa has a chewier texture and may not be as pleasant in a cereal.
- Rinse the quinoa: Rinsing quinoa before cooking removes the bitter saponins that coat the grains.
- Cook the quinoa according to package directions: Be sure to use the correct ratio of quinoa to water. For a creamy cereal, use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of quinoa. For a more firm cereal, use 1 3/4 cups of water for every cup of quinoa.
- Sweeten the cereal to your taste: You can add maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, or your favorite sweetener to the cooked quinoa. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Add your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities for toppings! Try fresh berries, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, shredded coconut, or even a dollop of yogurt.
Conclusion:
Quinoa breakfast cereal is a delicious, healthy, and versatile way to start your day. It's easy to make, customizable to your taste, and packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Give it a try and see for yourself why quinoa is becoming a breakfast staple!
