February 2014 – New Year’s resolutions exist for a reason. If your house is anything like mine, there seems to be an endless supply of sweet treats gracing our kitchen counters in December – after all that indulging over the holidays, my belly could use a break. At the beginning of each new year, I like millions of other Americans yearn to clean up my diet. I crave simple fresh, nourishing foods that truly feed me.
If I were going to give you one recipe that hits all the marks it would be these Quinoa + Kale Patties. These easy to make, savory cakes are a satisfying meal in themselves. Top them with avocado, cilantro, and garlic oil and you have a healthy feast. In all the recipes I’ve shared over the years, this one is the runaway favorite. I hope it makes you happy too!
