Parmesan Quinoa Bites

A Healthy Appetizer

 

So I am always looking for a delicious yet healthy appetizer to serve when I am hosting a get-together. The other night I made these and everyone loved them!

Of course, all of my guests asked me, “what are in these?” With a smile and knowing a mountain of questions were about to blossom, I said “Quinoa.” The replies, “Quinoa? What is that??”

So I danced at the opportunity to educate my guest on this wonderful grain free (yes, quinoa is not a grain, but a seed) ingredient.

So Just How Do You Pronounce Quinoa?

 

I have noticed that people want to try new things, they just don’t know how to cook them, or in this case, even pronounce the ingredient. The correct pronunciation is “KEEN-wah”.

See video below to hear the correct pronunciation!

    Sounds yummy! I happen to adore cilantro, but for people who don’t (and there seem to be alot!) I’m assuming one could substitute another flavorful herb?

  6. Whole Lifestyle Nutrition says

    yes, certainly you could sub the cilantro out Jan. I also thought it would be great with little pieces of broccoli instead of the cilantro and change cheese out for cheddar. You get the idea 🙂 Lots of room to play around here!

  9. Rhonda Harader Cain says

    Jan, I do the best I can on brie. Haven’t found raw, organic maybe once….I get “hormone free”.

  10. Susan Bearance says

    look delish, but why are these more carb than protein? I thought quinoa and almonds were protein?

  11. Whole Lifestyle Nutrition says

    they are higher in protein yes, but look at your box of quinoa, it still has higher carbs then protein.

  12. MichelleHughes says

    You should probably be getting a lot of attention here soon. I justed pinned these and within 15 minutes I already had 15 repins. You are officially on pinterest!! Congrats and by the way they were yummy. I even made pizza bites for my son. Thanks!
