I have decided to eat better this new year and today I tried a new recipe: Quinoa Porridge. I asked Alexa for a quinoa breakfast recipe and got several suggestions. I tried the first one, but only sort of followed the directions because I didn’t have any cashew crema or fresh peaches on hand. Nor did I have any pumpkin seeds or sesame seeds. I did have quinoa, so I cooked that up. I substituted chopped pecans for the two types of seeds. Instead of four medjool dates, I used chopped dates. I had an apple, but only used half, then I topped it off with a couple of teaspoons of coconut balsamic vinegar for a little sweetness. Since this morning, I’ve found several other quinoa porridge recipes that have easier ingredients and I might try one of those this week too. If you try quinoa, be sure to rinse it several times before cooking it. Rinsing helps the flavor. I have a nylon sock that I keep in the kitchen for things like that.
Eat well!
