the wonders of quinoa

I recently found a recipe on Pinterest (I'm a Pinterest addict...here is the link to my profile) that caught my eye for quinoa burgers.  I'm not a vegetarian, but I have been eating more veggie burgers lately so I decided I would try this recipe.  I've made it a few times since and wanted to share it because I think they're absolutely delicious!

Here is the link to the original recipe; however, instead of feta cheese, I chop up a block of mozzarella.  I also do not serve them on a bun because they're so flavorful that the extra carbs aren't necessary.  I top them with sliced avocados and ketchup which adds a good touch.  I cooked these last night with my best friend and we served them with baked sliced sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and broccoli!

Baked Veggie Recipes:
For the brussel sprouts and broccoli, I toss them in a plastic bag with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake them on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
For the sweet potatoes, I do the same thing, but with cinnamon instead of pepper.  Absolutely delicious!
