Quinoa Burgers: Pizza Style

We made one of the best meals we have had in a long time.  It was so tasty we are still talking about it days later.  We made quinoa burgers, pizza style.  So it’s not an actual patty but rather the quinoa served up in the size of one without a top to the sandwich.

I am not the best at photos so don’t hold that against me. One day I’ll figure out how to take good photos but the taste will totally make up for it. I promise!

And if you want to learn more about quinoa benefits, I wrote about that too.
