My review
Stuffed Peppers with Quinoa
crayn
"We tweaked this from several stuffed pepper recipes to come up with a yummy version that tastes even better reheated for lunch the next day. This is a great side dish with fish. You could use vegetable broth to make it vegetarian."

This was good but the Quinoa took longer to cook. I really think it needs to be precooked before being added to the tomatoes.

That was sooo good! By far one of my favorite recipes! I made it with a handful of fresh cherry tomatoes instead of the canned and it was perfect

I had too much filling for the amount of peppers to fill. But it was good and great to heat up later.
