Another inspirational post from Dvina Pe at Sense & Serendipity.  For this dish Divina uses healthy quinoa and combines it with some soft onions, red bell pepper and zucchini. She then stuffs this into shiitake mushroom caps, along with some fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Sounds delicious!

Here’s what Divina has to say about quinoa – “Aside from being complete in protein, they are also strengthening and cleansing to the body. There are so many health benefits of quinoa and that includes revitalizing the liver and strengthening the kidneys. It is also an anti-stress food as they are high in B vitamins. Just include this pseudo grain into your meals as they are great for every body organ and functions. And even if you decide to go on a detoxification mode for a few days, quinoa does the job of giving you the health benefits.”
