Normally for me, Superbowl Sunday is about 1 thing ... football. This year though, both of the teams I hate the MOST were facing off. I just wanted both teams to lose. The only thing I was looking forward to was the halftime show and the snacks!! So I was on a mission to find a super(food) snack for Superbowl.
A friend of mine posted a recipe for Quinoa bites that she found here. While the recipe sounded good, I just didn't have all those things, nor did I want to go buy them, so it was time to improvise! Here is my quinoa bites recipe.
Ingredients:
* 2 cups quinoa, cooked per package directions and cooled
* 2 eggs
* 1/2c shredded bell pepper (any color of your choosing)
* 1/4c shredded mexican blend cheese (2%)
* 1/4 - 1/2c diced white onion
* 1 T minced garlic
* 1/4c grated parmesan cheese
* 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
* garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Spray mini muffin pan with olive oil.
3. Mix together quinoa, peppers, eggs, onions, mexican cheese, garlic, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
4. Fill each mini muffin well, pressing down so that each well is filled to the top. (They shrink during baking.)
5. Sprinkle the top of each with paprika.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
7. Serve with dipping sauce of your choice – honey mustard, ranch, bbq or ketchup. Or just eat by themselves!
Note: really you can use any veggies in these as long as you grate it into small pieces!
For those of you following the 21 Day Fix, 3 mini muffins is 1 yellow.
