Seeds, Nuts and Rice 'Cereal'

½c quinoa

¼c white rice

¼c chopped walnuts

2c water

2T ground flax-chia seeds

½c dried fruit - chopped

1t pumpkin pie spice

⅛c± coconut sugar

1t pure-real vanilla

Combine the first group of ingredients in a heavy-bottom dry pot - no butter, water or oil.  Stir over medium heat until the seeds and nuts brown.  You'll hear the quinoa snapping as it gets close to being toasted just right.  Stay with it.  It goes from 'just right' to burnt in no time!

Remove from the heat and allow to cool before adding the next group.  Stir, cover and simmer on low, about 20 minutes, or until the water evaporates.  Stir in the vanilla and serve. . .Lin
