These quinoa-stuffed bell peppers are a healthy and filling vegan dinner choice because they are high in protein, fiber, and flavor. You can add your favorite vegetables and spices to make them your own.

Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa, rinsed. 2 cups vegetable broth. 4 large bell peppers, any color. 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed. 1 cup corn kernels. 1 cup diced tomatoes. 1 small onion, diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon chili powder. Salt and pepper, to taste. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked and liquid is absorbed. While quinoa is cooking, cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish, cut side up. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, saut until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, cooked quinoa, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stuff each bell pepper with the quinoa mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.

Indulge in the rich and savory flavors of this coffee-marinated burger. The brewed coffee adds a unique depth of flavor to the juicy, lean ground beef. It's a perfect high-protein dinner option that will satisfy your taste buds!

Ingredients: 1 pound lean ground beef. 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup diced onion. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 4 whole wheat burger buns. Lettuce leaves. Sliced tomatoes. Sliced red onion. Cheese slices optional. Condiments of your choice ketchup, mustard, mayo.

Instructions: Mix the lean ground beef, brewed coffee, garlic powder, breadcrumbs, diced onion, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Cut the mixture into four equal parts and use your hands to form them into burger patties. Warm up your grill or griddle on the stove over medium-high heat and oil it so that food doesn't stick. Cook the coffee-marinated burger patties on the grill or griddle for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare burgers. You can change the cooking time to get the level of doneness you like. Put a slice of cheese on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking so it melts. Toast the whole wheat burger buns briefly on the grill or in a toaster while the burgers are cooking. Put lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion on the bottom bun of each burger to make it. Place the cooked burger patty that has been marinated in coffee on top. Then, add any toppings you like. To finish the burger, put the top bun on top of the toppings. Feel free to serve your Coffee-Marinated Burger hot and enjoy!
