More answers to some great questions regarding my plant based diet and how it's affected my life and others around me.

Incorporating fresh fruits and veggies in children's diet can be a challenge. I hope these tips might help!

2-4 poblano peppers
1 cup quinoa uncooked
1 cup cooked black beans
1/2 onion diced
1 can 14.5 oz. diced fire roasted tomatoes
6 small mushrooms diced
1 cup water
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp crushed chili flakes
2 tsp no salt seasoning
Daiya cheese ( if you want)
Sweat the onions over medium heat in either 1 tsp olive oil or 1 tbsp of vegetable broth, then add in mushrooms and stir over medium heat for a minute. Add tomatoes, black beans and spices. Add quinoa and stir in. Add water on top, cover and lower to simmer. Leave to cook for about 25 minutes until quinoa is hydrated and cooked. While stuffing is cooking, rub peppers with coconut oil and place on a cookie sheet. Broil under high heat for 15-20 minutes, being careful to turn them consistently so the don't burn. You want them to blister and bake. Take them out and with gloves, peel them ( you can run under cold water if it helps) be careful not to break them. After the peppers are skinned cut off the tops and gently scrape out the seeds. Place in a baking dish and stuff with finished stuffing that has been sprinkled with Daiya cheese if you prefer. Place more stuffing around the peppers and place in 375 oven for ten minutes to warm. Enjoy!
