Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Pour over ingredients in pan, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Toast pecans in preheated 350 degree oven 5 to 10 minutes or until golden; do not over brown. Chop coarsely.

I made this for a weekend quilting retreat and got rave reviews! Just cooking the apples and raisins alone was enough to make our mouths water. I made syrup available to pour on top, but it was also great without syrup.

I think quinoa is an excellent gain, it can absorb any flavor you add into, fantastic taste, and I used fresh green and red chiles, they were really spicy but very tasty, but you don't love spicy, you should reduce the amount of the chiles.
