Zucchini Bites

Zucchini Bites
Recipe: From Pinterest
yields: 12 mini muffins

Ingredients:
1 cups zucchini, grated
1 egg
1/4 yellow onion, diced *I chopped mine pretty fine since I'm not a fan of onion
chunks in my food.
1/4 cup cheese )*I used low fat cheddar and added a bit more after the 1/4c.)
1/4 cup bread crumbs - I used Italian style
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Direction:
1. Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray.
2. Grate the zucchini and place in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water REALLY get all that water out because if you skip this part, the middle of the zucchini tots will be really soggy, YUCK!
3. In a bowl combine, the egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, salt and pepper.
4.Fill the muffin cups to the top.
5.Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set. I put mine in for 16 min. and then check them and left them in for another 4 (watching to make sure the tops didn't burn.


My thoughts:
LOVED THEM. They were so good, and I think would be great for kids because the flavor is amazing. I suggest letting them help you make it so they'll be more likely to eat the greenish food. HA!

I served them with Baked Chicken Strips and Corn.

Quinoa Yumminess

Ok, so I'm not sure what to call this but it's amazing, healthy and I LOVE IT! You can wrap it in a tortilla and add toppings, you can scoop it up with tortilla chips, eat it on it's own, toss it with some lettuce and make a salad, etc. It's easy to adapt the recipe and make it your own too!

Ingredients:
*2 Limes
*1/2 jalapeno
*Cilantro- as much as you care for
*2-4 cloves of garlic, chopped
*3-4 tomatoes chopped
*1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
*1 can of corn, drained
*1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
*1/4-1/2 green pepper, chopped
*1 tsp salt
*1 tbsp Cummin
*1/4c. olive oil
*1c. quinoa

-Rinse the quinoa in a strainer
-put in sauce pan with 2 cups of water, let it come to a boil.
-After it comes to a boil, reduce heat and let it simmer 20 min.
- chop up the jalapeno, garlic and onions in small pieces put in large bowl
- Chop up the rest of the veggies (green pepper, tomatoes and cilantro) and put in the
bowl
-dump in the corn and beans after they have been drained (remember to rinse the beans)
- stir everything together.
-mix in the quinoa

Now for the sauce:

combine olive oil, cumin, salt and the juice of 2 limes.
Mix together and dump in the big bowl of yumminess!

Serve with tortilla chips, tortillas, lettuce for a salad, or whatever else you can think of...

Y.U.M. and healthy too!

Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.
