Quinoa Stuffed Baked Tomatoes Recipe #247136
I cooked this up one night after needing to use tomatoes before they spoiled. I conveniently had some left over quinoa (super healthy grain) and with some other ingredients came up with this. I didn't measure so everything is approximates. Adjust to your taste. Enjoy!
