And now for some food…

I guess it’s about time to write about some food.
When I made zucchini pie the other day, I had a bunch of leftover filling. Inspired by this blog (my new fav), I thought it would be a great idea to use it up by stuffing some peppers. I used the same filling from the zucchini pie, except that I added in about 1/2 cup of frozen peas and 1/4 cup of grated carrot. The result was great. It was tasty and used up some food before it was destined for the trash.

To go with our peppers, we had some penne topped with basil cashew cheese. I used the same recipe that I’ve always used, but I threw in a big handful of basil too. It was very, very tasty. Emma was not into this meal at all. She ate plain pasta and some peas. After dinner was over, she came back and finished off her applesauce. That girl can be so picky!
















Absolutely beautiful stuffed peppers! I love yellow peppers way more than green ones and will certainly stuff some of those the next time I get in the mood for stuffed peppers (which will probably be soon!).
I can’t think of anything right now that sounds better than basil cashew cheese. I’m so sorry that Emma wasn’t a fan, but I can certainly relate to having a picky eater! Mine didn’t eat dinner at all tonight.
Maida, I absolutely LOVE the photo of the yellow bell pepper. This should be on the cover of Sunset magazine, for sure!
I can’t wait to make this myself!
