(Allergy-free - Gluten-free)
Handful raisins
2 cups dry quinoa
4 cups water
Place ingredients into sauce pan and bring to a boil. Then reduce temperature to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes. This actually cooks just like rice. For added flavor add cinnamon if you wish. Serve as a hot cereal for breakfast or afternoon snack. Serve with rice milk, soy milk or cow's milk. Add a little sweetener if you like - I'd suggest agave nectar or honey which are easy to digest and won't give you or your kids high/lows like processed sugar does. Don't give honey to a baby under one year though.
Quinoa is an ancient grain that is loaded with protein and fiber. Use the leftovers to sprinkle on top of salads. You can buy quinoa in most grocery stores that have a gluten-free section. Red Bob's is a good brand. Otherwise a healthfood store would be sure to have it. Enjoy!
