I bought a bag of quinoa grain at Costco a few months ago. A friend of mine told me it is the only grain that provides protein. Didn't even know how to cook it. I tried steaming it in Mike's rice cooker. Mike took one bite and basically said it tasted like a soggy rag. Thankfully, my sister Katie had a delicious breakfast recipe for it. Much better than my plain quinoa.
Cinnamon Quinoa Cereal
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
2-3 tsp ground cinnamon
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (can also use honey or agave)
dash of real salt
add all ingredients together except quinoa. when water/cinnamon mixture is boiling add quinoa. cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

BTY, oats provides protein, too. I looked at my bag of "Coaches oats" from costco and it has some good protein.
Wow - so healthy! Is it similar to oats? I love cracked wheat (Dad/mom used to make that in the crock pot) and I too love the Coaches Oats from costco! Have you tried them?
