Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

After going to farmer's market I needed to make a healthy recipe that I could use my fresh veggies in.  This turned out so good!  I thought I would share this delicious, healthy recipe with you.  Even my son thought they were good.

Sorry the picture does not do justice. Here is the recipe:
