I have three words for you: Quinoa Stuffed Peppers …I know! When I read those three words together, I was so inspired to make this dish! It does, however, take a bit of labor to prepare this dish. I found it to be fun though! First I sliced four bell peppers in half, and removed … Continue reading

Next I tossed … Continue reading
