Tasty Tuesdays

I just made one of my favorite mixtures of food tonight! Thanks to my cousin Caiti for giving me a rice cooker, I now don't have to eat crunchy rice! Yes, that's right...I'm really not that picky and I would eat crunchy rice. Who knows if anyone else will like this recipe, it's so simple you can modify it to fit your tastes. I have no clue what the carbs, protein and fat content in this is. If anyone wants to do the math let me know.

 

You can stuff your red pepper with as much or as little of the following.....

 

-Cut red bell pepper in half or core it

(I left mine raw but you can cook yours if you want)

-precooked brown rice

-precooked lentils(which were cooked in water and vegetable broth)

-Salsa(I used Organic Salsa de Casa)

 

Yup....that's it. I absolutely loved this! It was super easy to make! Try it and/or modify it if its too boring!

Introducing Tasty Tuesdays

I like the idea of having themed blog days. For example Fridays are Pits and Peaks of the week. I will be adding Tasty Tuesdays to the list. I will be displaying my cooking skills(wait what? I don't cook, I mix things together and pray its edible) and yummy restaurants in the area!

So the first ever Tasty Tuesdays post....

If you have not eaten at Verde Cocina in Hillsdale you must check it out! You might recognize the name, since they started at local farmers market and are currently at the PSU and Pioneer Place Farmers Market. They are a "Northwest farm to fork ingredients with a Mexican flair" restaurant. They use local produce and make in house corn tortillas that are amazing. If you are a fan of Mole sauce or new to it you must try it! I always get the Veggie Gringas with Mole sauce! Let me know what you try there!
