Take In Thursday ~ Quinoa cakes




Thursday's Recipe is Quinoa Cakes!
 This recipe was inspired by one of my teaching assistants in a culinary class I teach. She told me she had made them recently and I thought, that is a great idea. I played around with them last weekend to figure out the best way to make them. What is great about this recipe is that it is easy, simple and is the perfect way to use left over quinoa! You can add whatever you want to the quinoa to include into the cakes. We hope you are as excited as we are about this recipe. Be creative and have fun with different combinations.
