I have no problem eating a tasty vegetarian meal when it’s something like this. Quinoa is always filling, and the recipe for my roasted peppers is also something you don’t want to miss. All you have to do is mix everything together with some feta, olives and top it with a nice cucumber salad. Make sure to dice up the cucumbers nice and small like in the picture. It makes your food look fancy. Now you will be able to wow all your friends with an easy vegetarian meal, that’s packed with a lot of flavor, and garnished professionally.
If you want to make this a completely vegan meal, you can opt out of the feta. It’s a great meal that stands all on its own. It’s very complete, clean eating, and very healthy.
I also know that this isn’t a low oxalate meal. Quinoa unfortunately is high in oxalate as well as the peppers and cucumbers. hat;s okay, Heather didn’t want to eat them anyway.

This is my second awesome delicious stuffed pepper recipe, but so far it’s my favorite. If you want to check out my tomato and goat cheese stuffed pepper, and let me know which recipe looks better in the comments. It’s okay though, you can tell me they are both equally delicious looking.
