Quinoa and Kale Patties

We've mastered the air popper, and gone on to much bigger things: REAL FOOD. We eat healthy on a regular basis, and are constantly searching for new recipes, or tweaking old ones to make them gluten free, "clean," or just healthier.

Tonight's carte du jour featured these adorable little patties with the unmistakable taste of... something missing. Here is what we made: Quinoa and Kale Patties; alright, so adorable might be a little out of context. But honestly, they were pretty good. We both agreed that you could top these ugly little vegetarian burgers with pretty much anything you would put on a ground beef hamburger, or not. As the recipe included parmesan cheese and lots and lots of garlic, we thought Thyme, Oregano or some italian spice blend might make these grubby little patties even better. This is one of those recipes that combines two things most people have never heard of (Kale and Quinoa) and makes them wonderfully tasty as a good basic burger, from which to add any number of things.


We also made wraps. We altered this recipe with cranberry relish instead of cranberries, and left out the apple juice altogether, to make it thicker. Next time, we may even add some cream cheese.
