Healthy Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

These healthy quinoa stuffed peppers are surely going to be part of your monthly recipe roundup! they are easy and they are freezable!! What’s not to love?

Now, whenever I cook something, I just throw the picture out there without having to do the whole recipe thing!  That’s right up my alley because, most times, I cook from my head and when I do a post here, I have to re-create the recipe and remember to measure everything as I go so I can tell you all how to make it.
Which is good and everything…just a bit of a pain.

So, if you like “idea cooking” – just looking at a picture to spark an idea of what to cook – follow me on Instagram @justcrumbs and get your creative juices flowing!!
