Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe

My family was raving about this one. It’s super tasty, fresh, and it just tastes healthy! Plus, it’s a meal in and of itself and a good vegetarian recipe at that! :) The pepper gives it a really fresh taste, and the beans and quinoa make it sort of bready and just delicious! That wasn’t the best description, but WE INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAST: It’s a bit difficult to type between shifts of running around the house and chasing my brother because he stole my “writing pillow.” I’ve been trying to type this sentence for a half hour now…
