After over a month of living primarily off of fast food, it is so refreshing to finally have a house full of fresh food again! And, the biggest bonus of all – we’re in our new house. Meaning, we actually have space. I have a fruit bowl. On the counter. And there’s still plenty of cooking counter space left for food prep. Who knew these things were possible?!
These spinach Parmesan bites are the inaugural first quinoa bite recipe made in the new house. *enter dramatic music*
These babies pack a big Parmesan punch, which complements the more subtle flavor of the baby spinach perfectly. We ate them alongside a creamy cauliflower soup, but we ended up making the quinoa bites the entree and the soup the side dish – we just couldn’t stop eating them!

I had made these once before & we fell in love with all the bites afterwards as well. I was telling someone about these & it was decided I would make them for a pot luck at work. When my husband found out I was making them he insisted I double the recipe so he could have some too! I do omit the onion & Italian seasoning due to allergies so I add an extra garlic clove & fresh basil.
