BEST BITES: QUINOA CAPRESE SALAD

I can't believe I haven't shared this recipe yet.

Ridiculous.

It's one of my vegetarian, healthy recipes that even the carnivores in my life love. 

It's ridiculously easy to make, and it's full of protein and fiber. The mozzarella is creamy and salty, the sundried tomatoes are slightly sweet, and the quinoa is super filling!

What you need to make it happen:

- 1 cup quinoa

- Basil leaves

- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes

- 1/2 cup mini mozzarella balls

- olive oil (preferably garlic or basil infused!)

- salt & pepper to taste

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Cook your quinoa to the directions on the package, and set aside to let cool.

Step 2: Once cooled, stir in your basil, sundried tomatoes, mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Step 3: Season to taste with salt & pepper.

Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve!

 Garnish with a few basil leaves:

BEST BITES: SRIRACHA ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

I've been posting a lot of sweets & boozy recipes on the blog here lately, so I figured it was time for a healthy bite!

This recipe just calls for a couple ingredients, and if you don't like roasted veggies now, after this post- you juuuuust might. I mean, there's sriracha in it, so you know it's legit.

What you'll need to make it happen:

- 3 cups cauliflower, cut bit sized

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 tsp sriracha (feel free to double/triple that amount if need be)

- sea salt

- lime *optional

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350

Step 2: Whisk together your olive oil & sriracha, and mix in your cauliflower until well coated

Step 3: Sprinkle with sea salt & spread out on a foil lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Roast for 30 minutes, rotating to keep one size from over-browning midway through

Step 5: Turn on the broil for 2-3 minutes until top is browned, serve and enjoy!

*optional: squeeze some lime juice over the top for a tangy kick!

If you're a spice lover, feel free to load up with as much sriracha as need be :)
