Tonight's Dinner: Quinoa Pizza Bites

For a New Years resolution, my husband and I decided to add more superfoods to our diet, one of them being quinoa. After some searches on Pinterest, I came across this yummy recipe: quinoa pizza bites. You see, we love pizza, so the combination of quinoa and pizza is just a lovely mix!

Here is my modification (adapted from Once A Month Mom):
Ingredients:

• 2 cups of cooked quinoa
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup chopped onion (chopped on the smaller side)
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
• 3 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 cup of chopped turkey pepperoni (which is nearly the entire 6 oz package)
• 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
• 1 Tbs pizza seasoning (basil, oregano, marjoram)
• Optional: pizza sauce for dipping

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl (except for pizza sauce).
• Spray muffin tins (mini muffin tin, regular muffin tin, or bar pans all work great!)
• Fill each cup about 2/3 of the way and gently press to compact together. This is an important step so they don't fall apart when you try to remove them from the pan!
• Bake for 15-20 minutes (less for mini, more for regular)
• Allow to cool in pan before serving.

Enjoy!
