This a recipe I've adapted from one I found in Bon Appetit. Trader Joe's was out of the white quinoa, so I bought the red. I think it made a beautiful bowl and didn't change the flavor. Bon Appetit called for regular milk, but I'm a bit obsessed with vanilla almond milk right now, so I substituted. I loved the subtle flavor it added to the cinnamon. I have to admit, I'm not a "hot cereal" lover, and I was surprised how much I liked this!
