When you're looking for ways to use leftover quinoa, try these easy tasty vegetarian quinoa patties, served with an avocado yogurt dip - perfect appetizer!

Quinoa Patties

quinoa

eggs (beaten)

Salt and pepper (to taste)

½ red onion (finely chopped)

mozzarella cheese

garlic (crushed)

bread crumbs

Water add moisture

avocado oil

cilantro (chopped)

yogurt

½ avocado (extra ripe)

Combine quinoa, eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in onions, cheese and garlic. Add the bread crumbs, stir, and let sit for a few minutes so the crumbs can absorb some of the moisture. Feel free to add water if the mixture feels too dry. Form the mixture into 6-8 patties.

Frying Instructions: Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Place add quinoa on the heated pan, making sure not to overcrowd the pan and cook until the patties are golden color, about 7 - 10 per side minutes.

Baking Instructions: Place the quinoa patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the oil on top of the patties. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, until golden.

To make the avocado yogurt sauce, whisk together the cilantro, avocado and yogurt. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the cooked quinoa patties.

Copycat Popeyes Blackened Chicken Sandwich Recipe

smoked paprika

onion powder

garlic powder

cayenne pepper

oregano

salt

black pepper

sugar

chicken breasts

olive oil

brioche buns

¼ cup sliced pickles

mayonnaise

Mix together the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar in a bowl.

Wrap the chicken breasts in plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet or the end of a rolling pin to flatten them to about ½-inch thick.

Unwrap the chicken and coat boat sides in the spice mixture.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Fry the chicken breasts until blackened and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once fully cooked, the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 F.

Place the chicken on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Place a layer of sliced pickles on the base of the buns.

Spread the mayo on top of the chicken and place the other bun halves on top to serve.

Carrot Cake Sandwich Cookies Recipe

unsalted butter, softened

dark brown sugar

vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

all-purpose flour

baking powder

cinnamon

ginger

baking soda

carrots

coconut

walnut pieces, divided

raisins

cream cheese, softened

confectioners' sugar

Line two standard baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until combined.

Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine.

With the mixer turned off, add the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and baking soda. Beat until a smooth dough forms.

Wrap the finely grated carrots in a paper towel and squeeze out any excess juice.

Stir carrots into the batter, along with the coconut, ¼ cup walnuts, and raisins until evenly distributed.

Scoop 2 tablespoon-sized mounds onto baking sheets, spacing apart. You should have 24 cookies total.

Top half (12) of the mounds with remaining ¼ cup walnuts, pressing to adhere.

Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth.

Transfer frosting to a piping bag and cut a small hole at the top.

Once cookies are completely cool, line up bottoms and tops to create sandwiches, flipping the bottom cookies (the ones without extra walnuts) over to serve as the bases.

Place the top cookies onto the frosted bottom cookies, forming sandwiches.

Prepare optional glaze: In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth.

Add orange food coloring to the glaze as desired.

Drizzle the glaze over the carrot cake cookies before serving. Otherwise, refrigerate the cookies until ready to serve.
