* kale and quinoa patties *


Good morning Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful time with your family and friends! 
We had lots of delicious ( but not really healthy )food, so I thought I would share a great 
healthy recipe with you today :) 

kale and quinoa patties 

ingredients: 

* 2 1/2 cups quinoa ( cooked, cooled ) 

* 3 eggs ( beaten ) 

* 1 1/2 cups Parmesan (greated) 

* 1/2 cup chives

* 1/2 yellow onion ( diced ) 

* 4 cups kale ( chopped ) 

* salt, pepper

* coconut oil ( for frying ) 


1. Cook your quinoa, make sure you wait for it to cool off a little before 
mixing it with the eggs !

2. Saute your onions then add your kale, and cook until the kale is bright green. 

3. Whisk your eggs in a big bowl, then add all your ingredients to the egg mixture. 

4. Heat up your coconut oil ( enough to coat the bottom), form little patties. 
( if it's too sticky or they won't stay together I usually add a little more Parmesan )  

5. Fry until golden brown on each side for a few minutes.

6. Let them drain on a paper towel. 

I usually make little patties but you can try to make bigger ones, enjoy them 
however you like it! 

You can add lots of spices, green onions, jalapeño pepper, make them   to your taste. 
Enjoy your little patties with some sour cream on top, they are absolutely delicious. 


I hope you'll like them. Have a wonderful week!

* chia deliciousness *



























Good morning Friends! 

I made this amazing chia bread last week and I was super impressed with it. 
It's super easy to make and you can eat it for breakfast, you can toast it and 
have it as "chips" with your hummus, they are super healthy and yummy. 

Have I said super enough? :) So here is the recipe for the Super-Power Chia Bread :
( The original recipe is from The Oh She Glows Cookbook, I made some changes to my taste )

super-power chia bread 


3/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats 

1/2 cup chia seeds 

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup flex seeds

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 

1/2 teaspoon fine-grain Himalayan salt 

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder 


1. Preheat your over to 325 degrees ( 160 degrees), lightly grease a 9-inch square pan
 with coconut oil.

2. Blend your oats in a high speed blender until a fine flour forms. 

3. Combine everything in a large bowl. 

4. Stir in a cup water until combined. 

5. Pour your mixture into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. 
You can sprinkle the surface with some additional salt. 

6. Bake it for 25 minutes until firm to the touch. 
Let the bread cool for 5 minutes and then transfer it to a cooling sheet for 10 minutes. 
Slice it as you like and enjoy your super-power chia bread! 




  






















I hope you'll have lovely Thanksgiving with your friends
 and family!

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,
