Kat, this is an unbelievably tasty way of starting the day! :) Mmmm, my sis and me devoured this and wished we had made more. <br/>The walnuts went so well with the nutty quinoa (I used black quinoa for the first time) and the maple syrup adds a great earthy sweetness. YUM!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us!<br/>Made and reviewed for PRMR November 2010.

Yumm! The toasted walnuts and maple syrup make this very healthy breakfast a tasty way to start the day. Made as written using Recipe #16399 that I keep in the frig. For the topping I used a little vanilla ricotta but think milk or vanilla yogurt would be just as good. Will be making this again. Thanks for the post.

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
