    Breakfast Quinoa with Blueberries and Maple Syrup | 1 serving
    Warm porridge no longer has to be made exclusively with oats and wheat; quinoa, with its high protein count, is a fine start to the morning. Before cooking the quinoa--which you can do the night before--wash away its bitter coating by rinsing it well; be sure to use a fine-mesh sieve (the seeds are tiny!).

    Combine 3/4 cup cooked quinoa, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp. kosher salt in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until heated through. Transfer to a heatproof container. Top with 1/4 cup fresh blueberries; drizzle with 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup. Cover. less

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
