Pep-tember
Man oh man who can believe that September is almost over? It seems like we were just saying the exact same thing about August and preparing for this month’s giveaway – which was won by Leigh Ann, congrats again! We know you’ll love your curtains.
Looking back through the hundreds of photos we take and store each month just waiting for posts to go with them – we stumbled on some shots that Chad took in the kitchen. These images weren’t of countertops, tile or something the dogs ate slash ruined. They were of large peppers we tried to turn into dinner on more than one occasion.
We haven’t posted many recipes lately, partly because we haven’t really been cooking this summer outside of our steady canned soup and grilled cheese, spaghetti, and sharing a steak that was on sale rotation. Although we did bake treats for Lucy’s birthday awhile back and threw the recipe up on Durham Magazine’s blog. Just for fun, let’s relive the tastiness…
But back to the peppers. In another slackers-of-the-summer move we also stopped posting all about our CSA bounty after about three weeks of the farm fresh veggies delivered directly to my office doorstep. But about two weeks in a row we did find ourselves with plenty of poblano and green bell peppers. Being the carnivores that we are, what else would we do but stuff ‘em with meat and roast ‘em? So that’s what we did to each of them. Here are the details that we used for both kinds:
1. Wash your peppers and place them under your broiler, rotating them until they are blackened all the way around. Once, blackened let them cool and peel the roasted black skin off the peppers.
2. Cut the top off the peppers, gut and seed them. When cooking bell pepppers cut a small slit in the bottom to allow the juices to run out of the pepper.
3. Stuff with any mixture you like, we used cooked ground turkey, a can of Rotel, corn, onions, garlic salt and other seasonings.
4. Top with cheese and bake at 350 for 30 minutes on a cookie sheet.
Yum!
As a P.S. we know we’ve been totally slacking lately – again! We had to sneak away for friend’s wedding and are back in the swing of things tonight. We’ll be putting together some posts tomorrow to share all the details of our latest trip – and last trip for some time now. We had a blast but it’s great to be home.
