Made Quinoa Oatmeal PIP

It's pretty good! Tons of protein, and a lot less sugar! 3C water, 1/2C oatmeal 1/2C quinoa

The first time I had quinoa was as a breakfast porridge in Peru, and it was amazing! I've never been able to properly replicate it, but I make it for breakfast occasionally. So good!

Yum! Did you make it on the stove or microwave?

Stove - Bring all to boil, then simmer 2 min. Then refrigerate overnight and reheat in AM.

Wait - I thought you are supposed to cook quinoa as long as rice? So how is it possible to only cook it for 2 mins? Is there an instant quinoa that I've never seen or something?

Perhaps it's the letting it chill overnight part? Like "cooking" oats overnight.
