Egg Scramble with Spinach, Sausage, & Quinoa

This week's 'Recipe of the Week' is an adaptation from the blog Sweet Remedy.  There are a lot of opportunities to personalize this to your own tastes, so use the recipe as a guide.  We had this egg scramble for dinner, but it would make a great protein-rich breakfast.

1/2 lb ground sausage
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup diced onion
4 eggs
Splash of milk
Salt & pepper to taste 
Cheese (try shaved Parmesan or feta)

 Instructions:
Simmer 1/2 cup quinoa in 1 cup water, covered, about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Set aside.
While quinoa is cooking, brown sausage in a large skillet, remove, drain grease.
In same skillet, melt butter, saute diced onion.
Beat eggs with milk, then add to skillet.  Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.
When eggs are nearly cooked (scrambled), add 2 handfuls of spinach (torn), quinoa, and sausage.
Continue cooking until spinach is wilted and eggs are cooked to your liking.  At the last minute, add cheese of your choice (recommend feta).
