Stuffed Artichokes

This recipe was emailed to me, and I have been wanting to make artichokes for awhile- so I loved trying it! Not something I'll make a lot- just because it's a lot of work (kind of felt like I was doing a science experiment!) but it was fun for all to eat them, too! Click HERE for the recipe.

PW's Steak Bites

I made PW's steak bites- these were super yummy and the kids could easily enjoy them, too!

Beef with Snow Peas

SO yummy! Another great hit of PW's. Beef with Snow Peas- and it's a "16 minute meal"... even better. I made wonton crisps with this (from my Sweet and Sour Shrimp recipe).

Rotini with Chicken, Asparagus and Tomatoes

A friend recommended this on her facebook page, and I'm so glad I tried it- a great summer pasta! Yum!

Stuffed Green Peppers

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb ground beef or turkey
Salt and Pepper
Garlic and onion powders
Onion
1 cup chunky salsa
Mexican Style Rice (already prepared)
Black Beans
Cheddar Cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Cut tops off of bell peppers and de-seed. Place them in about 1 inch of water in a pot and cover. Bring to a boil and steam for about 5 minutes. Remove to a casserole dish.
Meanwhile, brown meat in a medium saucepan. Season with salt and pepper, garlic and onion powders and add onion. Saute until soft. Add rest of ingredients until well combined. Place filling in prepared peppers (at this point, you can refrigerate them until you're ready to eat 'em).Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes.

Black Bean Salsa

Wisk together in a large bowl:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 TBS Olive Oil
2 TBS Chipotle Tabasco (or to taste)
2 TBS red wine vinegar
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt/Pepper to taste

Stir in:
(2) 15 oz. cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can Mexicorn
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 chopped tomato
1 chopped green bell pepper
1-2 large ripe avocado, diced
Mix well and serve chilled. This is great the day it's made but even better the day after. Serve with Multi-Grain Tortilla Scoops!
