I made this last night and it was SO good! I couldn’t eat the whole thing, only a 1/4 of it, but I had some today for lunch. I added spinach to it since I had some baby spinach on hand. I also sprinkled a little crumbled reduced fat feta on top. The chili pepper was a nice touch. I’ll definitely make it again and I’m going to try some other recipes too. Love your site!

I can’t wait to try this recipe! I just recently discovered quinoa, and I have been looking for a recipe to use it in. Thanks, Roni!

I have yet to experiment with Quinoa. I think I may have to try this recipe out to do so. Thanks for the inspiration.

LOVE the spinach idea! I would have added it if I had some.

Glad you liked it!

This was very good and different. My zucchini was about a foot long so I doubled the onions and tomatoes and added frozen corn kernals and spinach. I seasoned with onion/garlic powder and lots of salt and pepper. I also wrapped each half in foil and baked for 20 min. I recommned topping with cheese.

I dont read your blog nearly as much as I am on green lite bites (everyday to check for new recipes) so I had no idea you sold your house =D You mentioned a few tings in your videos about taking your magnets off the fridge to depersonalize the place in hopes to sell and things like that but I didn’t know you sold it….congrats that’s a feat that not many are able to accomplish in this market…..but your house from what I could see was too cute I knew it would sell =D Anyways thanks for finding time to post recipes even if they are old ideas revamped….they help me pull out old ideas too and “roll with it”

And thanks for being such an inspiration in such a stressful time!It truly means so much to me and I could seriously be hurting if you stopped…..i might even cry =D

This recipe looked SO great and zucchini and quinoa are two of my favorite things right now, so I made this today!!

I have a profound hatred of tomatoes, so I left those out. But I sprinkled one of the halves with some low-fat cheese and salt and they are UNBELIEVABLE! These are SO yummy- and with the cheese they are somewhat reminiscent of your zucchini pizza bites (which I eat weekly). I too <3 pizza and look for healthy variations on it.

I’ve already forwarded the recipe to some fam and friends who are eager to try this too.

Thanks a ton Roni!

Yumm, this looks awesome! I always just throw some pasta sauce and cheese on zucchini – the quinoa would make it much more substantial and nutritious. I’ll definitely try it.

Roni,
That looks like a great recipe! I’ll have to try it. Do you think it would work made with bulgar wheat? I don’t have any quinoa in my pantry right now.

Also, don’t fret too much about taking your “vacation” or “break” from working out. I was freaking out over our week-long vacation (where I consumed mass quantities of mexican food and desserts including coffees in the evening that had cream and flavors and milk, etc…) I was probably averaging at least 2200-2500 calories a day (way off from my 1800-2100). I got back to working out after a week of that behavior and this past week I measured myself again. To my surprise I still lost 1/2 inch in my waist. Go figure! I was extremely surprised. Maybe our bodies just need to be treated “extravagantly” in the food department every once in a while. Metabolism kick, you think?
