Bring all ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover and let sit off heat
overnight. (Alternatively, bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring
occasionally, until grains are tender 20-25 minutes)
Heat serving in microwave, add milk (soy), maple syrup, toasted shelled pumpkin seeds
and toasted walnuts. Swap in chopped dried apricots for the dried fruit, or top with
chopped apple in the fall, fresh peaches in summer. Instead of quinoa, use semi
pearled barley for a chunkier texture. Try sliced almonds or hemp seeds.

I use 1/4 cup goji and 1/4 cup dried cranberries. I also cut the salt in half to 1/2
teaspoon and then cut the water from 4 cups to 3 cups if letting it sit overnight. I use 1
teaspoon of real maple syrup for sweetener, add a handful of walnuts and then 1/4 cup
soy milk. Tastes pretty good and seems to work well, I dropped my cholesterol 20 pts.
Will see if it continues to drop as I continue to eat this most mornings! Turns out
probably not this that lowered the cholesterol, oh well, still a good breakfast on the fly,
just heat and eat!
