    Those look awesome! I'd make them with less cheese since I'm watching saturated fat, but they look like they taste AMAZING! :)

    Sounds yummy....thanks for posting. :) Have you already entered the recipe in the database? Just checkin :)

    I ran across a recipe for stuffed peppers the other day at the docs office in a magazine ..the recipe called for Quinoa in stuffed peppers... thought that'd be good to try at some point in the recipe. Has anyone tried stuffed peppers with Quinoa?

    Yep, I've done them with quinoa and/or cous cous. I just cook it to the recipe, stir in some seasoning and veggies, sprinkle a little cheese on top and bake. Delish!
