Quinoa - nutrients & taste without the baggage

Unlike meat, Quinoa has all the benefits of meat especially protein without the fat. Preparing Quinoa with other vegetables and cheese does bring effortless nutrition to our diets.

Try this one for instance.  Take a few zucchinis.  Scoop out the center a bit.  Mix the center portion with sauted red onions, garlic, some chopped tomatoes and mild cheddar cheese.  Add spices of any kind that you like.  Fill the scooped zucchini center with the mix. Douse the outside with olive oil. Wrap in a foil and bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.  Then remove the foil and bake until it turns golden brown on top and is slightly roasted all over.

Serve as an appetizer.
