Hi all! I am currently typing this post from my brand spanking new Macbook Pro that came in the mail today!!! Excited? Oh yes. Now I will be rolling into college in style.
I have always typed my posts through Windows Live Writer with my old laptop, but now that I have a Mac, I’m not sure how I will be blogging. This one is just being typed straight through WordPress but I don’t know that I like it very much. Do you type your posts through WordPress or use a different tool?
Anywho, I’ve got a pretty tasty dinner own my hands and new recipe to share with you today. This recipe is based off an idea I got from Iowa Girl Eats, when she made quinoa spinach bars. I decided to do a spin off and make it into an egg casserole of sorts.
Spinach Quinoa Egg Bake with Feta
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked quinoa (about 1/2 cup uncooked)
1 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
1 cup liquid egg whites
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
several handfuls torn spinach
1/2 onion, chopped
desired seasonings: I used unmeasured amounts of red pepper flakes, black pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. After dicing your onion, you can either saute it on the stove with some olive oil or take the super easy short cut of sticking it in the microwave for a minute or two. Then just combine everything together in a mixing bowl and pour into a baking dish. Bake for about 50 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
This has a really nice, earthy taste to it that I love. It’s a nice vegetarian option that will definitely be added to my recipe page!

I hope you like your new mac! I will be getting one in August and I am so afraid to use it.
That looks so good! And I have all the ingredients waiting to be cooked in my fridge-perfection. Thanks for the idea!!
I write my posts straight through WordPress and I honestly really like it that way. Congrats on your new Mac! I promise you you’ll grow to LOVE it.
This looks fabulous! I love putting feta in my eggs!
Woo! Grats on the Macbook, girl! I’ve got one too, and I flippin’ adore it! I write my posts straight in WP, and don’t find it too bad. I think it just takes some getting used to. Oh, and the quinoa dish? Looks delicious!
OMG i need to make this asap. I’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog today
this looks great! I have never had egg and quinoa together
Use Ecto! You do write up posts without being on the internet and uploading pics is wayyyy faster!
thank you, I’m checking it out now!
this looks SO GOOD. i love quinoa… at any time of the day. today is my rest day.. i love it! i feel like i can feel my muscles getting stronger. And the workout after rest day is always the best!
Girl, I love love love my macbook. It’s my baby. Okay maybe not but I treat it like one. Yesterday was my rest day as well. I loved every minute of it. err except for the part where I started reading for the next semester. bleh
Delicious!!! I am totally going to give this one a try. I love anything and everything with quinoa!
That looks good! I always type my posts with wordpress.
Omg I want a Macbook!!! Lol they are so freaking amazing, I am way jelly
Rest days are wonderful, Sunday is mine and I can’t wait! That egg bake sounds amazing, love the spinach/egg combo!
Yay for Macbook! I usually type right into WordPress, but I’m lame like that.
Yum the egg bake is looking fabulous
Rest days are something I am struggling with… I know they are necessary but I feel that dreaded guilt about not exercising, urghh
Yum, I love egg bakes. I use WLW, but that doesn’t help you much
that is what I used with my old laptop. I miss it already!
I need to show my mom this because she loves eggs, feta cheese, and spinach… we have yet to try quinoa though, but it looks good!
This looks amazing
I use Ecto on my Mac. It can be temperamental, but it’s better than blogging in WP!
YUMMMMM! another AWESOME recipe! you rock girl, your blog is ma fav! please email me if you ever have any questions or wana chat about college! love you!
thanks girl!! <3
