More FOs

It is a gray Monday here, so I spent the morning baking these Cheesy Quinoa bites!

Autumn made them for us at the Halloween book/craft club; they are incredibly good, and I will be making these all the time now!

The recipe (which I basically copy and pasted from the email Autumn sent! I believe she found the recipe on Pinterest?)

Cheesy Quinoa Bites

Makes 28 bites

 

-2 cups cooked quinoa

-2 large eggs

-1 cup shredded carrot

-2 stalks green onion, diced

-2 cloves garlic, minced

-1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

-1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

-2 Tbs all-purpose flour

-1/2 tsp seasoning salt

-1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Mix together quinoa, carrot, egg, green onion, garlic, cilantro, cheese, flour, salt and pepper.

3. Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.

4. Bake for 15-20 minutes

 

I ended up omitting the cilantro and green onion because I didn't have any on hand. I did add a bit of chopped red onion. Also, I used a regular size muffin tin since I don't have a mini muffin tin, which left me with a little bit of mix still. So by the tablespoon, I scooped little balls of mix on a greased cookie sheet. Worked just fine! I did cook the muffin tin cheese bites for about 25 minutes I think. I highly recommend making these!!

Mods: I just did one pattern repeat before decreases

This is the second hat I'm giving Scott. The colors might be too bold for him, but I really like them. This is a great unisex hat pattern, and I will be knitting many more! Maybe not out of Biggo though... the bulky cables killed my hands.

A fun group of ornaments!:

Holly and Ivy, and a bunny nugget

I still have one monster left to complete the trio, but I am dreading it because it's a three-color striped one! Eek. Maybe I will use self-striping yarn... These guys are sitting on Turn A Square, kind of a nice seat don't you think?

Yikes, I need to get ready for work! Too much fun baking and eating and blogging :) Hope you all have a wonderful week!
