Most of my lunches are with whole grains - Barley,Cracked wheat,Spelt,Brown rice,Quinoa etc. That being said, I try to add variation to these grains so that I don't feel deprived of "Good" foods. Variety is the name of the game, where healthy diet is concerned. Fool the brain into thinking that it is indeed enjoying "healthy" foods and its not boring/bland etc. Among the whole grains, another thing which plays a major role in my diet is Protein. I am always looking out for ways to bring these together in harmony that the result is appetizing without having to add the unnecessary enhancers like "Butter","Oil","all purpose flour" etc. These Baked Quinoa and Mixed bean croquettes are perfect for all the stated reasons. I had the 15 bean soup mix in my pantry and thought why not blend this and my usual quinoa together to form these patties. I dint want to fry them (beats the whole purpose), hence baked and the result dint make me feel deprived. Try it - you won't feel that way too.
