Apple Gingerbread Quinoa

by 12 Comments

Thanksgiving is over and it’s time to get into the HOLIDAY SPIRIT!!  Bring on the gingerbread 🙂

I love spices.  I love pumpkin in the Fall and gingerbread around the holidays and Winter.  The sweetness of the apples pair perfectly with these awesome spices.  (Feel free to adjust the spices according to your tastes.)  The quinoa makes a lovely substitution for a cold morning when you are getting tired of eating oatmeal all the time (like me).  And quinoa is a complete protein as well and who doesn’t need some extra protein in the morning?
