a few will include seafood. Enjoy!

This recipe yields 4 patties, adjust accordingly.

What you'll need:

1 1/2c cooked quinoa

1c water

4-5c fresh broccoli florets

2 scallions, diced

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4c almond flour

1/2c grated cheese

(cheddar or mozzarella)

2-3T oil

Bring your quinoa and water to a boil, cook on low heat

covered for 12-15 minutes or until all the water is gone.

Turn off heat and let it stand 5 minutes covered.

While the quinoa is cooking steam your broccoli,

drain well and pat dry.

Combine your broccoli, scallions, quinoa, egg, salt, pepper,

garlic and cheese in a food processor and pulse until

finely ground. Pulse in the almond flour, mixing it in well.

The mixture should easily mound on a spoon and just be

slightly wet. If the mixture is too wet and more almond flour

a tablespoon at a time until you can start

to form patties. Once your mixture is

ready for 4 large patties.

Heat your oil in a skillet over medium heat,

carefully place your patties in the skillet.

Lower your heat to medium low, do not mess with them,

you want them to form a deep golden crust.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
