So this is my official first post and I am severely excited to enter the food blogging community =). I am from a family of seven people and cooking a meal for them is challenging at best (I honestly don't know how my mom does it day after day).
The past couple days I have been experimenting with quinoa - a super grain that is fairly tasty, but a little pricey. I was also able to pick up some fresh ingredients at a fresh produce stand close to where I live.
(This made me very happy because I much prefer local produce)
Last night I was able to make Quinoa Stuffed Peppers for my family and boyfriend. They turned out very good and accompanied with bright orange baked sweet potatoes, made a wonderfully healthy meal. I decided to post some pictures of this "healthy endeavor" and include a link that will take you to the recipe on the deliciousliving website (a site I would recommend for unique, good-for-you meal plans). I hope you enjoy as much as we did! =)P.S. If the price of quinoa is an issue substitute brown rice (it will be just as good, if not better!)
P.S.S. I would also recommend eliminating the pine nuts if you are going for a more frugal meal because they are not at all necessary
