Rainbow winter sunrises and crescent moons.
The wheel turns, bringing gifts of each new season,
and always raw astounding beauty, mystic magic,
and deep connection through our Mother Nature.

I've been finding winter breakfasts less than inspiring. I like to eat fresh, have never been much of a porridge girl, but my kids love it and it just feels right to serve something so warming, nourishing and comforting on a chilly morning. This recipe makes a nice change from oats and still doesn't take too much time or organisation for the those rushy weekday mornings. This even got a tick from 6 year old daughter who is usually less than approving of quinoa. I find it perfectly sweet and creamy with the pumpkin and coconut cream but if you like things on the sweeter side add a few chopped dates or raisins while cooking or sprinkled on top with some chopped walnuts and pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin Pie Quinoa Porridge
1 cup quinoa
1 cup water
1 cup coconut cream/milk or milk of your choice
1-2 cups grated pumpkin (or left over roast pumpkin)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp each cardomon, cloves, nutmeg
Leave quinoa to soak in water plus a drop of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice overnight. Drain and rinse well in the morning. Add all ingredients to a pot, stir and cook covered for 15 minutes, until quinoa is cooked and liquid absorbed, add a little more if you like your porridge runnier.
