Hi, Everybody! This month has been filled with so much rain here in Maryland, but at least it means that everything is looking beautifully green outside, and spring has truly arrived! After all those months of everything being dark and gray, it’s so refreshing seeing green everywhere! I have a great quinoa recipe to share with you today! If you’ve never had quinoa before, you should try it out sometime! It is high in protein, fiber, magnesium and iron, as well as calcium. I know that that may make it sound too healthy to taste good, but this is a great way to prepare it! I’ve been seeing different kinds of quinoa patties everywhere, and so I came up with a recipe to suit my taste! These Cheesy Quinoa and Broccoli Patties are delicious; crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside!
