Though felt lazy to cook in the morning, just for the sake of keeping my promise I entered the kitchen and found myself lost. I&#8217;d no idea what to make other than pancake and omelette. I&#8217;d to first activate my brain so had a cup of coffee. I always want my coffee to be served in a cup along with a saucer. I really don&#8217;t use the saucer, it&#8217;s just for keeping the cup. For some weird reason, I feel that the coffee tastes better when sipped in a cup rather than a mug. So, even at work I keep a cup just for having coffee, I literally hate sipping coffee in travel mugs. I like to shop and buy different kinds of coffee cups. Here is my recent favorite coffee cup, it&#8217;s a very simple one, it&#8217;s small and skinny too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11373\" title=\"coffee\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/coffee.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/coffee.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/coffee-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After\u00a0activating\u00a0my brain, I found myself getting along well in the kitchen. I grabbed quinoa, spinach, eggs and cheese, combined them together and a healthy filling brunch was ready in no time. It&#8217;s been a very long time since we had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/dates-couscous-with-poached-eggs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poached eggs<\/a>, so made that as well. Hubby gobbled up \u00a0and I felt happy to have kept my promise.<\/p>\n<p>Quinoa health benefits: Quinoa has high vitamin content, won&#8217;t spike your blood sugar so it&#8217;s safe for diabetics, it has low calories, high in fibers and proteins so it&#8217;s filling; hence good for weight loss. Quinoa is a healthy substitute for rice and pasta!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quinoa and Scrambled eggs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11372\" title=\"quinoa-scrambled eggs\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/quinoa-scrambled-eggs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/quinoa-scrambled-eggs.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/quinoa-scrambled-eggs-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quinoa- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Water- 2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Spinach, fresh or frozen- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li>Eggs, beaten- 3 to 4<\/li>\n<li>Ground pepper- 1 tsp or more if needed<\/li>\n<li>Salt- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Cheddar cheese- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Extra virgin Olive oil or olive oil- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instruction<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rinse the quinoa taken in a strainer under running water.<\/li>\n<li>Place a saucepan over medium heat, add quinoa and water.
