    Made this for a 'gluten free' friend and myself. Didn't even tell her it was lowfat and neither of us missed anything. This was delicious! Substituted zucchini and mushrooms for asparagus and corn. Doubled the recipe and used one red and one yellow pepper. Really good! - 2/3/09

    This recipe was amazing! I dont like onion so I left out the onion and scallion and didnt have fresh cilantro so I used dried.
    When I cooked the Quinoa I used vegetable broth, instead of water like package directions, to give it more flavor.
    Will definately make again!!!

    This was delicious. I added tomatoes because I thought it needed a little color! - 1/20/09

    These were delicious, my husband hates bell peppers but he loved these. I didn't have quinoa or scallops so I used barley and slightly more onion. It was amazing. - 1/17/09

    Really great vegetarian meal and easy to do. We parboil the peppers before stuffing, and use a variety of colors for a group. - 4/23/12
