I love stuffed mushrooms! I would have never thought to use quinoa in them though! Thanks!
Thanks Stephanie. Mushrooms are the best. Stuffing them is just a added bonus 🙂 🙂
Yum! So delicious. Quinoa has been saving me lately – it’s the healthiest item I’ve eaten among all the cookies and candies and pies. Thank goodness for quinoa and stuffed mushrooms!
Hahahahahaha Lily I am recovering from my cookie exchange too 🙂
These look amazing. I’m already planning for my 2016 slim down.
2016 slim down plans are in full effect here too Eryn 🙂
