Quinoa, Carrot and Rice Fritters

"I had quinoa in the house for my parrots for years before I ever knew that I could eat it too. This was the first quinoa recipe I ever tried. It was given to me by my Weight Watcher leader. If you make it with brown rice the recipe is core or 4 fritters for 5 points"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have always enjoyed cooking and looking for recipes. I have to admit though, until I joined Weight Watchers four years ago I never did much cooking. Since then it has became vital to do my own cooking and I find I am really good at it. I really enjoy trying new ingredients like Quinoa, Millet, Porktenderloin, hoisin sauce, beans, Textured Vegetable Protein among many other new ingredients. My family has started thinking I am a little weird with all the unusual ingredients I have in my pantry. My passions are my 3 nephews, Matthew, Lucas and Charles and my 8 parrots, Guy, Pete, Toby, Daisy, Zeke, Ernie, Max and Lu. They keep me positive when life takes a nose dive.
