I gave ya'll some time off from Greek food. But it's back with a vengeance! I was totally on a spinach pie (spanakopita) kick, because let's face it, spinach and feta is one seXXXy match up. Add in some onion and garlic and you gots Greek paradise!
But I wanted to update it a little bit. So I added in quinoa instead of rice.
You can blame the Spanakopita Quinoa Roll Ups- they got me on a spinach roll!
This is a true one pot meal that is super easy, delicious, quick and HEALTHY! Oh and you only mess up one damn skillet! WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN!!
I don't mess around when it comes to food...
But be prepared to pray to Cheesus once again! For this skillet meal ALSO boasts 2 cheeses. Feta for flava and mozzarella to be gooey.
Being healthy does not mean sacrificing all that is good and right in the world- and that my friends is cheese. DO not give up on cheese. Moderation my friends. Moderation is key!
With the quinoa and cheese you are talking about LOTS of protein for the serving size. At these stats you could have 2 servings... you could.
This recipe concludes #HolidayDetox 2015. Of course there will be more healthy recipes as time goes on. But brace yourself for some killer, over the top shit.
It was my Mom's Birthday this past weekend and I made her THIS- Bourbon Baklava Birthday Cake. One to truly go down in history. It was amazeballs! BEYOND better than I expected. So Yeah I think you are gonna want THAT one!
