Breakfast QUINOA + Cinnamon & Berries = Healthy Morning
My bowl of comfort, right here.
Recently, it seems that Fall has arrived here in Georgia, but only from the hours of 9pm-10am, otherwise, it’s still summer. I’m not complaining, but I am ready to break out crockpot, buy some pumpkin and start prepping for the holidays. Who’s with me?.....Just kidding. So i was playing on the internet one morning and I found this recipe on another blog and i tried it and absolutely LOVE IT!!
I’ve been enjoying a big bowl of this warm breakfast quinoa with cinnamon, fresh picked blackberries [story below], toasted walnuts and then topped with shredded coconut. How does that not scream amazingness?! One of the many reasons I love quinoa is because it’s so versatile and works well with a wide range of ingredients. It’s also a [gluten-free] grain that can be enjoyed for either, breakfast, lunch, dinner OR dessert!
