Pesto Focaccia Pizza

Like the author of this post, I love pizza. I also love the no knead focaccia recipe on which this particular pizza is based. I think my next variation will be red sauce with mozzarella, prosciutto, and basil. Mmm!


Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

I have had pretty good luck with the recipes I have tried from Vegetarian Times. This, however, was a dud. My poor boyfriend had the worst of it, since he fixed them. It was a time consuming process, in addition to the hour and a half bake time. The results weren’t worth it. They were remarkably bland. There was no cohesion within the peppers. As for what it was like when I reheated it the next day? Not a pleasant experience. I will not be making this again.

As you can see from the discre pancy in the post and recipe titles, I substituted pecans for the walnuts and was lazy so they weren’t toasted. I don’t know how much difference that made, but I can assure you these muffins were absolutely wonderful. They stayed moist and light, even the one that was left the next day. My only regret is that I didn’t make a double recipe. I’ll definitely be doing that next time.

I served this with the Crispy Quinoa Cakes and it was also a hit. I can think of several other uses as well. An easy and flavorful sauce.

I made this recipe a few weeks ago and it got rave reviews from all. Even the people who are suspicious of anything vegetarian loved it. The combination of the cakes and the Red Pepper Sauce was excellent. I highly recommend!

I did make a few small changes. Due to the tastes of some of the people around here I used an Irish potato instead of a sweet potato. In the future, I will most likely use more quinoa.
