I love it when Dan looks in the fridge and complains, “There’s nothing to eat!” like he did the other day. I jumped into the kitchen with my hands on my hips (Musketeer style) and said, “Do you challenge me, Sir? There is plenty to eat! I will make you a dinner fit for a king!”. OK, I’m still a little caught up with the “Game of Thrones” season finale last week 
Well, I think I won that challenge with these comforting Mexican Cheesy Quinoa Stuffed Peppers!
