Breakfast at Tiffany's Tuesdays

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day.  I am one of those people who must eat it, or else I will be a Cranky McCrankenpants.  I usually stick to the basics, you know cereal, eggs, that kind of thing.  But one of my life goals is to cook great breakfasts for the husband.  I noticed whenever I do this, I make things that are delicious, but seriously fattening.  Pure maple syrup on top of whole milk pancakes or nutella filled crepes, anyone?  Yeah....

So I am instating a new feature of Kelly Leigh Get's Busy - Breakfast at Tiffany's Tuesdays.  On Tuesdays from now until I get bored of this feature, I will post my attempts at delicious, healthy breakfast recipes - fit for a sleek and slender Holly Golightly and all her eccentric fabulousness.

Today's recipe is Strawberry Rhubarb Quinoa

Ingredients (for 2 servings)

• 120 grams of quinoa
• 1 stalk of rhubarb, chopped
• 1 cup of strawberries, quartered
• sugar or honey, to taste

Put all ingredients in a medium pot.  Fill with water to just cover the food.  Bring to a boil and then let simmer for about 10 minutes, until the quinoa is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.  Add sugar or honey to taste.

Verdict - Nick loved it.  I was not such a fan.  This might be because he added copious amounts of sugar to his, while I just added a little honey, but for some reason I was having texture issues.  Also, I didn't realize the strawberries would completely disintegrate.  It might be nicer to add them later so they hold their shape.
