Quinoa Hash with Fried Eggs

Tonight we had our weekly favorite, also my "I am in a hurry, I need a quick meal". My family loves quinoa and we always have a supply on had. We love the jumbo bag of Organic Quinoa from Costco. If we are looking for something even more special we will get the red or black quinoa from Ancient Harvest (www.quinoa.net). This recipe is so easy and it can be adjusted to meet your needs and well as accommodate the items you have on hand. Remember a recipe is a guide, you can adjust the ingredients as you'd like! Enjoy!
