Banana Quinoa Breakfast Porridge

Our son Jon got married to his lovely bride Brianna last Friday. We celebrated the wedding with a lot of family and friends. There were people that came from all over the country that came to help the bride and groom celebrate. It was a wonderful time, but I can’t believe that we have another child married.

That meant that our daughter Krista was here for the wedding. She is one of those people that eat healthy and exercises on a regular bases. I have been telling her about the quinoa recipes that I have been making and she has been reading about them on my blog. She had never eaten quinoa, so I had promised her that I would make some quinoa for her while she was home so that she could try it.

Since I enjoyed quinoa for breakfast I decide that I would make some quinoa porridge for the two of us. Also having some very ripe bananas sitting on the kitchen counter, I decided that banana would be a great combination for the quinoa. We both loved the quinoa with the banana, it made for a hearty breakfast on a cold fall morning. After eating her quinoa, Krista mentioned that she would be buying some quinoa on her next trip to the grocery store.
