Mini Ham & Cheese Quinoa Cups
This recipe is copied from Iowa Girl Eats blog & it is so good I wanted to share it here. It is very adaptable to substituting ingredients for what you have on hand or for your preferences. They freeze very well. I take 3 out of the freezer, microwave till warm & nestle them on top of a bed of chopped fresh spinach which is drizzled with a little vinaigrette. Adding a little hot sauce on the cups is great if you like it - I do! Enjoy!
