Now that we are back from vacation it is time to jump back on the healthy eating bandwagon. It’s so easy to fall back into old unhealthy eating habits while on vacation – especially when you stay at B&B’s and the hosts make eggs and pancakes for breakfast. Not to mention the copious amounts of Panama cerveza’s we were forced to consume 
. It’s hard to not drink a cold cerveza when it is so hot outside. Unfortunately my skin is not thanking me for my bad habits as I am experiencing numerous breakouts – my skin is the exact reason why I cut out dairy, eggs and wheat, so whenever I bring them back into my diet my skin expresses its displeasure. Lesson learned the hard way I guess.
Today’s recipe is a variation of one a friend passed on to me as I had to clean it up a bit for my consumption. The original version was from the blog So Very Blessed and there is also another variation at Fitsugar.com.
Quinoa Pizza Bites
2 cups cooked quinoa
2 eggs made from egg replacer
1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup each shredded Daiya mozzarella and Daiya pepperjack
1 clove minced garlic
4 chopped vegan sausages
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp italiano seasoning
pizza sauce for dipping
I started off with baking my bites for 20 minutes as the original recipe suggested, but I found my bites were still too moist, so I put them back in the oven for another 8 minutes. This might be because the original recipe used mini muffin tins, but I only have the regular size. Also the original recipes says it made 40 bites, but I was only able to make 18 – again most likely due to the larger size. Overall we both really enjoyed them and I would consider making again.
