Hi All,
Quinoa is a true paleo food. I got this recipe from http://www.kfsm.com/lifestyle/food/sns- ... ory?page=2 ,
except that I changed the type of "milk" used. I see no reason why blueberries, or any other favorite berry, couldn't be substituted for the blackberries, and if pecans don't work for you, walnuts or some other nut should work just as well, or leave the nuts out entirely, if desired.
Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal
Makes 4 servings
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
1 cup of your favorite milk substitute
1 cup water
1 cup organic quinoa, such as Trader Joe's or Bob's Red Mill
2 cups fresh or frozen (and thawed) blackberries, organic preferred
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
4 teaspoons organic agave nectar, such as Madhava brand
Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
While the quinoa cooks, roast the pecans in a 350 F toaster oven for 5 to 6 minutes, or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
Once quinoa is done cooking, turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blackberries and cinnamon; transfer to four bowls and top with pecans. Drizzle 1 teaspoon agave nectar over each serving.

Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Gloria,
The cinnamon is what caught my eye, too. I haven't even tried this recipe yet, (the weather's not cold enough for hot cereal here, yet), but quinoa is so bland by itself, that it definitely needs something, and the cinnamon sounded to me like a good start, for sprucing it up a bit.
