Quinoa Flakes Porridge With Dry Fruit & Nuts

Quinoa is a grain that is commonly used in my household. It sometimes replaces rice and I have developed the taste for it. In August I happened to visit People's Organic Co-op located in Ocean beach, San Diego and I was so impressed with the store. It carries a lot of organic produce and regular grocery. This place has organic beans, lentils, grains etc and at reasonable prices. I bought some quinoa flakes and made porridge with it and I loved it. I really started to miss it when I was all done with the flakes. Yesterday, I got some from the store and I made porridge with it. It is so filling but light and is a perfect breakfast food. If you happen to find quinoa flakes in your local grocery store you can give this porridge a try.
