A Peck Of Peppers

Foodblog-3769

We’ve had a wonderful day from lunch through dinner! Today’s weather here was just PERFECT! Still balmy with cicadas, but cool enough that there’s just a touch of autumn in the air and it’s totally comfortable outside.

Mid-morning Matt and I went hiking on the Monticello Trail. 4 miles up and down – cool and fun!

AC is off! [For the night, at least. I know it’s not good to turn it on and off, but the low is in the 60s and we love the windows open!]

For lunch I ate two slices of our leftover pizza from last night. MY GOSH it was so good!

Foodblog-3753

Plus hummus and veg on the side.

Foodblog-3754

My body must really be preparing for not being pregnant to crave those : )

This afternoon I watched a Newborn Care DVD that we got during our childbirth class. And about halfway through I COULD NOT KEEP MY EYES OPEN! It wasn’t like an “oh a nap would be nice” situation but more of a “nap is absolutely necessary” kind of thing. I’ve heard the last few weeks fatigue really sets in, so this doesn’t surprise me. After 30 minutes of snoozing, I felt much better!

Matt and I went out and ran some errands together.
And he put a new canvas to use when we returned home – he’s making the baby a present!

Foodblog-3763

I put some nesting to use by washing and sun-drying our pillows : )

Dinner was great – Chorizo + Millet Stuffed Peppers!

Foodblog-3770

We had a bunch of little gypsy peppers from the garden and half a pack of Rock Barn chorizo that I had thawed out for dinner.

Foodblog-3767

We combined a mixture of the following in a big mixing bowl and stuffed it into the peppers:

  • 1/2 lb chorizo sausage, browned in skillet
  • 1.5 cups cooked millet (yay rice cooker!)
  • 1 small poblano pepper, sautéed
  • ~10 cherry tomatoes, sautéed
  • ~1tsp chili powder (the chorizo was pretty flavorful already, so if you used something plain like ground beef, you might want to add a bit more spice)
  • Salt + pepper
  • 1.5 cup cheddar cheese mixed in and another half cup for the topping

Baked for 15 minutes at 400*.

Foodblog-3776

After thought: this dish needs greek yogurt!

We’re in the middle of the movie Knocked Up. So far, it’s cute. Not very realistic at times, but cute : )

Hope you guys had a great Sunday and are rested and recharged for the week ahead!

    I’m jealous of your weather! We’re dealing with triple digits here in Cali! Those stuffed peppers look fantastic! And I’ve never seen peppers that color before… Almost like a sea foam green? Gorgeous :).

    I’m happy you had such a nice day 🙂

    I made brown rice in the rice cooker for the first time today and it was absolutely perfect and delicious! The grains were fluffy and separate and not mushy at all!

    Can you share how you made the millet in the rice cooker? (How much water and millet? Also, which setting did you use?)

    Thank you!

    I am in love with stuffed peppers- all kinds of flavours and variations!! these look amazing and although i dont eat meat I am sure a spiced soya mince + chipotle chili filling would taste just as amazing as these look!
    thanks for sharing 🙂

    Hummus and peppers are my hubby’s favorite right now – they are especially good while sitting in the shade at the beach!

    I have never been pregnant but I am amazed you walked 4 miles this far along. No wonder your body said nap time later. Glad you are still up and about.

    One of my biggest fears for the future of me being pregnant is that I will not be able to stomach hummus. I literally eat hummus every single day, usually multiple times a day. Happy to see hummus is making its way back into your world 🙂

    Did you par-boil the peppers (or cook them at all) prior to stuffing and putting in the oven?

      August 16, 2012 at 7:31 am

      No, we just let them cook in the oven
