Paleo Stuffed Peppers

Quinoa is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat. It contains almost twice as
much fiber as most other grains. Grass-fed Bison provides nutrient dense, low fat,
low cholesterol meat with as many Omega-3s per serving as salmon. Add them
together and you have a power packed family dinner that looks as pretty as it is good for
you! The beautiful colors of the peppers look like fall on the plate. Think about what
happens when you sit down to eat. One of the first things you notice is how the food
looks. Food that looks good makes us want to taste it. So invite some friends over and
watch how fast people will dig into these Paleo Stuffed Peppers.

4. minutes, then remove from heat.
