-It has to be yummy. -It has to be easy. -It can’t use the oven. Every single day when I eat lunch I sit in front of my computer, usually catching up on email or going through my blog reader to see what all my great recipe/garden friends are up to.   You know lunch is exceptional when you plan to do this, but the only thing you can do is turn your monitor on before you devour your entire lunch without touching the keyboard or mouse once.    This lunch time experience was just me and the stuffed pepper and it was a good one. These stuffed peppers are: -Yummy.  Very. -Quick and easy.  The thing that takes the most time is making the quinoa. -It doesn’t use the oven.  It uses the stove top and the microwave. -Fresh!  Garden pepper and spinach, yum!

Here’s all your beautiful ingredients.  Such a pretty lunch we’ll be having! Hello Mr. Pepper!  You are huge, beautiful and delicious. I love you dearly. Here’s your quinoa with chopped up spinach and garlic.   The way I make my quinoa is 1/4 cup dry  quinoa with 1/2 cup water.  Bring to boil, then simmer and cover for 15 minutes. After I melt the cheese, I put the pepper top back on.  More pepper to eat makes me a happy girl! If you have any quinoa that can’t fit in your pepper, I just put it on the side.  Also, I always put extra tomato sauce on top. I love tomato sauce. When it’s time to start picking tomatoes from the garden this will all be fresh. I can’t wait!
