Quinoa & Hard Boiled Eggs...Not Together

The other day Jenni posted this recipe for Quinoa Stuffed Peppers. Looks yummy right? Becky and Darin made them too, well sort of. They used brown rice, different spices and stuffed Portabella Mushrooms instead. Same idea though and sounds delicious. I decided to make the stuffed peppers last night. I went to the store before the gym and got all of the ingredients. After I got home I was ready to whip up a tasty feast. I unloaded my groceries....who forgot to buy the peppers?! The main ingredient! Luckily I had two in the fridge. So now we have a MOUNTAIN of the stuffing. I added black beans along with the kidney beans, garlic salt, chili powder and paprika. Oh, and I used swiss cheese instead of mozzerella. Overall, very yummy. Next time I think I will add actual garlic and probably some other herbs. And now I have lunch for like a month. I am not even kidding. So thanks for the recipe Jenni! I didn't follow it exactly, but I never would have thought to do anything like this without it.

Then, at the coffee stand this morning we were all chatting about cooking and low and behold Jack and Susie also got the "Joy of Cooking" for a wedding gift! He said they have a few versions and he uses his all the time. Especially when he can't remember how to boil eggs. Jenni commented that she has never boiled an egg properly. So here you go Jenni, I looked it up in the "Joy of Cooking". The title is for Hard, Soft, or Coddled Eggs. See there they go again, coddled? Am I the only one that has never hear of a coddled egg? Sounds funny. Anyway, I digress.

Hard-Cooked Eggs
Place Eggs in Pan
Cover with cold water
Bring to a boil
Reduce to simmering for 10-15 minutes
Plunge into cold water immediately





Last but not least, Becky loaned me Julie & Julia with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Warning: do not watch this movie if you are hungry. I didn't know anything about Julia Childs, I have never even seen one of her shows. Now I love her. The movie is great and a must see in my opinion.



Am I becoming a "foodie"???
