As I head into my qualifying “exam” for graduate school, I find myself craving comfort food often. Sadly, most of those foods aren’t exactly conducive to a healthy diet. Happily, many other people have worked out delicious, healthy, comforting foods like this quinoa breakfast bowl that I’ve been eating for breakfast, snacks, dessert…you name it.

Red Quinoa with Berries

Red Quinoa with Berries

This recipe was prepared verbatim from Heidi’s blog, over at 101cookbooks, (also the image source since I forgot my camera today) which offers a ton of healthy recipes, many of which are vegetarian.  I made this a couple of nights ago with soy milk, toasted pecans, honey, and big fat blackberries, and spiced it with cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg.  I brought this into lab today and received two interested “What is that…?” comments within three minutes of heating it up.
