WILD BLUEBERRY & MAPLE BREAKFAST QUINOA WITH TOASTED PECANS



Wild Blueberry & Maple Breakfast Quinoa With Toasted Pecans image

A delicious and healthy breakfast. Be sure to use wild blueberries for the best flavor. You may want to add additional pure maple syrup depending on how sweet your blueberries are. Note: I do not recommend adding the blueberries during the cooking process because it alters the flavor of the berries. Please wait to add them until after cooking the quinoa as stated in the recipe.

1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring (optional)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (if not using maple flavoring, increase vanilla to 1/2 t.)

WHOLESOME SPELT WAFFLES



Wholesome Spelt Waffles image

These spelt waffles are divine! They are light, airy and crisp. The perfect platform for pure maple syrup. Plus the spelt offers a wondrously nutty essence, that you just don't get with plain old flour. The beauty is, these are my families favorite waffles. They don't miss the white-processed flour. They don't miss the handful of white sugar; and they don't miss the additional 1/4 cup of oil that I took out! So you can eat your waffles on Saturday morning, without an ounce of guilt, and still have dessert Saturday night!

Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Quinoa image

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.
