Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal with Peaches and Toasted Pecans

Recipe and Styling by Paula Bowman

Here’s a tasty and nutritious way to start your day. Lightly sweetened vanilla quinoa can be kept, tightly sealed in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Eat cold, right from the fridge or warm slightly, in the microwave before finishing with fruit, nuts and milk whenever you’re ready. Try switching it up and adding seasonal fruit like berries, mango, apple or banana instead of peaches.

Corn Pancakes
