More about a hot breakfast
Knowing about my oatmeal struggles, my buddy Liz AKA The Good Eatah surprised me with a packet of instant quinoa! I have yet to try quinoa. I bought a bag of it a month or so ago and haven't been brave enough to cook it yet but this possible solution to my hot breakfast issue made me want to try it right away.

Alti Plano Gold Instant Hot Quinoa Cereal; Spiced Apple Raisin

Just add boiling water and it's ready to eat!

Ok, I admit, I didn't like it! Quinoa is a very different taste and I think if I put a little effort into it, like I did with bananas, I'll eventually grow to like it. It's worth it, did you know quinoa is a complete protein? Liz warned me that I might not like it at first but I tried really hard to be open minded. I think I will keep at it though because it's definitely a good alternative to my beloved oatmeal. If you're interested in learning more about Alti Plano Gold instant quinoa you can find them here.
On another exciting note, I received my package from Shabtai Gourmet and I've already ripped into it and tried almost everything that they sent. Stay tuned for a review and photos either later today or tomorrow!

I personally prefer quinoa prepared in a savory form, as opposed to sweet, so I can see where it wasn't to best. Also, the first time I tried quinoa I didn't like it either.
I am SO excited for your Shabtai Gourmet foods! Their meltaway crumb cookies are awesome (and aren't as high in sugar as a lot of their other products)!
Also - did Shabtai sent you all that stuff for free?! That is so cool if they did... can't wait to read your reviews!! :)
happy friday!
