Mix veg patties with quinoa twist

Lunch box! omg.. sometimes gives me a nightmare.. i think it sometimes gets tough to think what to make for lunch today, when you have time running out morning. Every one loves something which is quickly made and easy to carry. When i am short of grocery or running late, i keep myself always ready for such days with these yummy patties in my fridge. All i do is open my fridge toss a bread and make simple sandwiches and its ready to go. What makes it worth eating is protein and fiber content in it and its awesome taste.
Kids would love it and before they even realize all the veggies are in their stomach, isnt this good...
This can also be served as evening tea time snack which is quite healthy option. Today i will share my quick and easy mix veg quinoa patty recipe.
