Breakfast Quinoa with Gingered Pear and Walnuts

1. Rinse and drain quinoa under cold running water.

2. Place quinoa, water, and milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all liquid is absorbed, about 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Combine butter, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger in a skillet over medium heat and cook until bubbly. Add the pear and stir to coat with the sugar mixture. Cook about 1 minute. Don’t allow the pear to get soft, you want the pear to stay somewhat firm. Stir in the walnuts and quinoa and serve.
