Quinoa and Barley Breakfast Porridge
Here is a yummy alternative to oatmeal in the morning. Very healthy whole grains, too. "Super foods" some people call them. Takes a little while to make it, but very yummy. Add your own spices, sweeteners and dried fruit, to your taste. This recipe can be easily halved if you use a small saucepan. Supposedly you can cook in a small crockpot overnight, but I've personally only ever tried this on the stovetop.

DIRECTIONS
- For the crockpot method: Mix the first four ingredients (barley, quinoa, salt and water) and cook on low overnight.
- For the stovetop method: Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Then simmer covered for about 40 minutes, until all the water is absorbed.
- For both methods continue from here: Fluff with a fork and put into serving dishes.
- Add sweetener, dried fruits and spices, as desired. Basically, as you would like for oatmeal. Similar. Serve with milk or yogurt if desired.
- For Vegan omit the milk and yogurt or sub non dairy milk such as soy milk.
