This is one of my favorite fall breakfasts, the children, not so much. I love the mixture of harvest vegetables such as pumpkin, squash or yams, mixed with the spices of the season. Not only is this delicious, it is filling and nutrient packed.
The Recipe
1 1/4 cup water
1 cup quinoa
Rinse the quinoa well with water. Bring water to a boil and add the quinoa, then simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and cover for another 5 minutes before adding the harvest mixture. Stir in the harvest mixture until well incorporated and divide into bowls.
