    This Cranberry Banana Baked Quinoa and Oatmeal is the perfect healthy make-ahead breakfast recipe that the whole family will love!Cranberry Banana Baked Quinoa and Oatmeal
    It has been a crazy couple of weeks for the website - I'm pretty sure in the last two weeks we've been down more than we've been up.

    I know this has been frustrating for many of you as you were trying to make recipes. Believe me when I say that no one has been as frustrated as I have. There is nothing that makes me feel more helpless than technical problems - especially when they persist, and you get to a point of wondering if five years of work as gone.

    Fortunately, we SEEM to have solved things. (Fingers crossed.)

    Though I've been crazy-frustrated, one good thing that came out of this is that so many people reached out and asked if I could email them recipes.

    I found this unbelievably flattering.

    On a basic level, I know that people are out there reading but having people reach out to me personally to get a recipe left me all warm and fuzzy inside.

    Thank you for all of your kind words and support!

    Now that things are functional again, I'm back in the kitchen developing some recipes to share with you later this month. In the meantime, I've got an amazing quinoa breakfast recipe that is perfect for the holidays.

      This sounds fabulous, and I plan to make it for my son and his gluten-free girlfriend. I need to adapt the recipe to be vegan, but that'll be simple. What size pan do you recommend? I didn't see anything about size in the recipe (sorry if I missed it). Thanks!

          I used a 12 x 8. (I think it is technically 11.9x7.7)
