I tasty breakfast dish that uses the "super food" quinoa. Quinoa's protein content is very high, making it great vegetarians and vegans. It also contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for making it an unusually complete protein source and is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus. Quinoa is gluten-free and high in magnesium and iron. What a better way to start the day!!

  • Peach preparation: Slice the peaches into thin wedges to ensure even cooking. If using frozen peaches, thaw them completely before adding them to the quinoa.
