Quite delicious and perfect for those cool mornings. Instead of using whole vanilla beans I used a tsp of vanilla bean paste. Also if using red and/or black quinoa expect cooking time to be a bit more than written and possibly require more liquid because of this. Refrigerate any leftovers for a nice afternoon snack! Thank you for the recipe. Read More
