Fried Quinoa Patties

I found this great recipe for Quinoa Patties the other day. Quinoa used to be a staple food for Nick before he met me because it's easy to make, relatively cheap, and healthy.

I think you'll like this recipe. 

Cook 1/2 box of Quinoa by boiling. Let cool.
Finely dice an onion
Chop 1/2 cup of chives
Shred a zucchini
Dice 4-6 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix it all together in it's yummy quinoa glory!

Beat 6 eggs in a bowl and add to mixture
Let everything absorb and let sit a few minutes

Form the mixture into palm size patties.

Heat oil in large skillet
Fry up and serve hot.

I also think this would be good with some kind of sour cream or tzatziki sauce.

Perfect Summer Days

The weather's been so lovely and wonderful lately we've been outside a lot enjoying the sunshine. We biked down to dog beach from our house this past weekend.
It's a fun 15 mile ride.

 

  

Look how blue that sky is! :)

 

We've finally started taking full advantage of Trolley Park within walking distance.

 We went stand up paddle boarding with the Kochs. It was the most 

awesome, sunny, glorious adventure!
