Quinoa Bites

I've seen this recipe on Pinterest and have been dying to try it! We don't eat meat (I feel like I say that a lot, but it kind of explains why we eat some strange stuff) and I love quinoa. We just had them for dinner and the kids LOVED them and even asked for seconds. I would call it a success. They are really yummy and pretty easy to throw together. I'll definitely make them again. I did make some changes from the original recipe. It called for carrots instead of peppers, but my kids ate all the carrots. I also doubled the original recipe to accommodate my family. Ok, here is what you need:

*You will need 4c cooked quinoa, so make that first while you are chopping up your other stuff. 1c uncooked quinoa plus 2c water is what you will need for 4c cooked quinoa. Cook according to the package, it's a lot like rice!

*In a big bowl add 2c diced peppers (any kind you want, I used a combo of red and yellow since it is what I had), 4 cloves chopped garlic, 1/2c chopped cilantro, and 1c chopped green onion


*Isn't it pretty?
*Next add in your cooked quinoa, 1c Parmesan cheese, 4 eggs, 1tsp season salt, 1/2tsp pepper, and 4Tbps flour.
*Mix it all together

*Grease a mini muffin tin and place 1Tbsp of the mixture in each cup
*Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until they are nice a golden brown
*We had ours with Thousand Island dressing and applesauce
*My doubled recipe made about 50 bites
