Today’s recipe carries on my love for all things quinoa. I have leftover quinoa in my fridge at all times so that I can easily cook up recipes like this one! I have been looking for new quinoa recipes and lately I have been trying out Quinoa breakfast recipes! To see more Quinoa recipes I’ve posted, go HERE to my Pinterest Page devoted entirely to Quinoa!
This recipe is beyond easy to create. You can cook up fresh quinoa or use leftover quinoa. Besides preparing the quinoa, all you need to do is cook the spinach and fry an egg. How simple is that?

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
