Broccoli Cheddar Quinoa Bites (BLW friendly)

1 cup quinoa (uncooked)
2 cups of water
1 raw broccoli crown
1 cup of cheddar cheese
1/3 of a block of cream cheese 


First I preheat the oven to 350. I personally have only cooked quinoa in my Instantpot but you can also cook it on the stove. I start by taking the 1 cup of uncooked quinoa and putting it in my instantpot with 2 cups of water. (Quinoa is always a 1:2 ratio with water) Cook on high pressure for 3 mins then naturally release for 10 mins. Now using a food processor I chop the broccoli, I only use the very top and leave out the main stem. To form the balls I start with the cooked quinoa in a large bowl, then I add the finely chopped raw broccoli, and lastly I add the two cheeses and mix it all together. After this I ball them up and pat them down and put them all in a 9x13 glass pan. Then cook them for 25-30 mins. 

They are absolutely delicious and easy to use for baby led weaning as well as a snack for toddlers and even adults!

Funny of the Day

Every night my daughter asks for warm milk at bed and when my husband brings it in she always says it's too hot, so he adds an ice cube and brings it back. Tonight he didn't even hand it to her and she said "it's hot" and so he tells her he already added the ice cube but she refused to take it until he left the room and came back with it. 🤣🤣
