I love hot quinoa for breakfast. My husband likes his oatmeal. What’s a girl to do? I guess I could just cook what I want and make him eat it. Or he can cook his own breakfast himself, which he is more than happy to do. But it would just be too much of a hassle in our tiny kitchen. And I hate hassles.

It is one of the easiest dishes you can make at home. Additionally, you don’t have to limit its potential. It can be much more than a side dish.
