Buffalo Quinoa-White Bean Patties

If you’re looking for a way to spruce up salads, look no further! These buffalo quinoa-white bean patties actually make me look forward to my lunchtime salad. Plus, the recipe is easy, makes a lot, and is healthy. I like to make a batch on the weekend, and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a convenient addition to my workday lunch.

Roasted Vegetable and Pesto Quinoa

After a weekend full of “cheat-day” foods, I was in desperate need of a healthy dinner tonight. This quinoa is loaded with veggies — red pepper, zucchini, eggplant, and onion — and keeps you feeling full thanks to the protein and fiber from the chickpeas. Add in super flavorful basil pesto and a sprinkle of feta cheese, and you almost forget you’re eating a healthy meal.
