Italian Quinoa Bites (So good!)

I had a great day yesterday. I got a happy letter from my son in Michigan. He is doing great on his mission. I love Mondays when I hear from him. I went on a long walk and it started to pour. It felt refreshing. I was soaked from my head to my toes. It was crazy but so fun at the same time.

This is  one of the recipes I created yesterday for our Quinoa book. We are making the book gluten free too. We are finishing all the recipes up for the end of this month. So I am posting this one. A lot of them we are not posting. I love quinoa because it can be savory or sweet and both are delicious. These are the bomb. These have the great Italian flavors I love without all the calories.I loved them. A great combination of yumminess. So healthy too. Winner! Winner! Great for a snack or meal.
