get you through whatever your day brings! Check the bulk section! I live in Seattle, where quinoa is ridiculously popular, but I'm still able to get it in bulk for $2 a pound. Sure, that's twice the price of rolled oats, but I generally use a serving size of 1/4 cup dry, so that's about $0.25. Now for our oatmeal..we place all the ingredients in a pot the night before. We do this with old fashion oats. Something about soaking it overnight with the milk and some sweetner...then it is cooked in the morning. Just wondering, how do you think quinoa would handle being uncooked and soaked in the water/milk mixture all night? Do you think the texture would not be good? Thank you! Just found your site to make some breakfast sandwiches and came across this recipe. Looks good! ps. we buy a big bag of organic quinoa at costco and the price isn't that bad. I think it is 9.99 for a bag (not sure of the size but bigger than reg. store bought. Hmm... that's tough! I think it would do okay, but quinoa tends to be a bit more fragile than oats... If you soaked it overnight, you would probably just need to heat it up basically in the morning which is probably your goal.
