Ms. Stewart I presume....

I rarely sit down to watch TV during the day and if I do, it's only because by some rare alignment of the stars my kids are happy playing with each other and my house is spotless.  However, today wasn't one of those days, it was the complete opposite where I had to remove myself from my kids to take a few deep breaths or something bad may have happened.  So, I closed my bedroom door on their screaming faces (sounds more mean that it really was) and flipped on the ol' boob tube to take a breather.  Martha Stewart happened to be on and I caught it just as she mentioned "quinoa".  Now, for those who don't know, I LOVE QUINOA!!  I'd put a bumper sticker on my car that blurted that statement, but I'm afraid I'd look too, "granola" and weird.  Anyway, she threw together a breakfast recipe that was SO easy to remember that I ran to the kitchen after the segment (my kids are fine, thanks for remembering their sad faces as mommy shut the door on them) and whipped out my box of Organic Quinoa and went to work!    Here is the

 recipe...

2 c. Milk (I use Hemp Milk but whatever you have is good)

1 c. Quinoa (rinsed but read your box, it may have already been rinsed)

2-3 Tbls light brown sugar (I actually used Palm Nectar Sugar)

1/8-1/4 tsp Cinnamon (yummy antioxidant and weight loss helper!)

Fresh blueberries (or any other fruit/nuts you prefer)

Now Martha did it the old fashioned way by boiling the milk in a saucepan and then adding the quinoa, but me, I just used my trusty rice cooker, worked great!

When the rice cooker (or saucepan if you are truly a "Martha") is done cooking the quinoa, fluff with a fork and stir in all the remaining ingredients.

Low fat, blissfully filling breakfast (or mommy snack cause of course the kids looked at it and refused to touch it, sissies).

Thanks Ms. Stewart for lifting my mood and getting me through the first part of my morning!  We are all still alive and kickin' and the kids have forgiven me for having to walk away from them.
