Cheesy Quinoa Bites: Perfect Finger Food for Kids

I have been looking for some new healthy lunch ideas for the girls (and me) and some healthier snacks to have on hand. I found the recipe for these on the blog, So Very Blessed.  These were very easy to make and really yummy.  The only thing I would do differently next time would be to make them in a regular sized muffin tin.  (It was a pain to clean out the mini muffin tin numerous times!)  This was a great find!  Enjoy!
