If you haven’t figured it out just yet I love to eat. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I am eating “bad” foods. I like to mix up. One day you may catch me eating a maple glazed donut and the other cooked quinoa with a drizzle of maple. I try to make healthy and real food choices and least 80 percent of the time.
That brings me to this breakfast quinoa. We eat quinoa quite a bit.
This particular breakfast quinoa has fruit, maple syrup and walnuts.
Read more about quinoa and how to use it in my Ask the Domestic Life Stylist series on 5 Minutes for Mom.
Enjoy!

I love quinoa, but I’ve never considered making it sweet instead of savory… Sounds yummy though!
