Quinoa Patties

Tuesday evening I finally got to talk to some amazing ladies from Cincy that I've been trying to coordinate talking to for awhile. AH schedules and time zones are so h ard to work around! But I ended up getting in quality conversations with them both and it was very uplifting, even if we talked about random pointless things for half of it.
Plus since I'm not very good at sitting still I made these while on the phone with them. AH and they were so amazing!
