I’ve not made this recipe yet, but I plan to tomorrow. I received a request from a friend, so here is the recipe. I will paste an update after I make it.

Friday Favorites: Pesto Focaccia Pizza from BudgetBytes
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.
Review: Pear-Pecan Muffins
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.
Friday Favorites: Stroganoff
If you are a traditionalist and like your recipes done the old fashioned way, you might want to stop reading here. This is definitely not your great-great ancestor’s stroganoff. In fact, as you notice, the subject does not mention beef. That’s because this recipe does not require meat. *gasp*
Recipe: Chili
Chili
In reality, this is more a relation of the day’s incarnation of chili than a recipe. I don’t think my chili is ever the same. So, in today’s:
2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion
2 large cloves garlic
6 habanero peppers
2 cans diced tomatoes, drained
1 can tomato sauce
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
1 can refried beans
cayenne pepper
dried cilantro
ground cumin
I sauteed ground beef until it was fully browned, then put it in a large Crock Pot. Next I chopped the onion, garlic & peppers. Be certain to wear gloves for the peppers, or you will be in a world of hurt. I sauteed the veggies in the grease from the ground beef. I added them and the canned items to the Crock Pot as well. The spices I added to taste. Stirred it all together, turned it on high and it’ll cook throughout the day. I’ll be serving it with shredded cheese, sour cream, and cornbread. Should be a tasty meal!
Recipe: Cheesy O’Brien Egg Scramble
Cheesy O’Brien Egg Scramble
1 package (28 ounces) frozen O’Brien hash brown potatoes
1 tsp garlic salt (or equivalent combination of garlic powder & salt)
1 tsp black pepper
1 can condensed cheese soup, undiluted
1 lb sliced cooked & crumbled bacon or 1 lb bag real bacon “bits”
12 eggs, lighly beaten
2 T butter
2 cups shredded cheddar or preferred shredded cheese
In large skillet prepare hash browns according to package. Sprinkle with garlic salt & pepper. Transfer to greased 2-1/2 qt/9×13 baking dish. Top with soup. Set aside 1/2 cup bacon. Sprinkle remaining bacon over soup. In another skillet scramble eggs in butter until nearly set. Spoon over bacon. Sprinkle with cheese & reserved bacon. Bake uncovered at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted.
This can be made the night before, making it an excellent choice for Christmas morning. Enjoy!
Review: Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Recipe
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Recipe
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.
Review: Crispy Quinoa Cakes Recipe
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.
