Keen on Quinoa

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

 1 pkg flavored quinoa mix or other prepared quinoa
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
6-8 Bell peppers with tops cut off and seed scooped out.
1/2 C tomatoes, chopped
1/2-3/4 C crumbled feta cheese


Prepare quinoa with water suggested. Add coconut oil, beans, and stir well. I put it all in the rice cooker. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Steam the prepared peppers in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and boil for 8 minutes. Remove peppers. Take prepared quinoa and add tomatoes and feta. Stuff peppers and bake 30-40 minutes.

P.S. Thanks to my mother-in-law for these yummy peppers!

How momma got her (blog) groove back!

 Yeah, I've taken a long blog sabbatical. But, it is time to get back at it. Let's face it being a mom is hard work and being a first-time mom is even harder. So, if baby boy goes to bed before midnight haha I'll use my precious spare time to pour a glass sit back and whine  a bit!

Whip it Whip it good

Coconut whipped cream It's so good, it only requires 3 ingredients, it's vegan and has none of that artificial garbage. Yes, the can is upside down and yes it is necessary. It probably wasn't necessary to take a picture of it upside down, but it's funny so there! 1 can of full fat coconut milk, chill in fridge overnight 2 tsp sugar  1/2 tsp vanilla Put your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 5 minutes. Open coconut milk upside down, pour out the liquid and save for another use. Scoop out the cream and add to chilled bowl. Whip with electric mixers or a Kitchenaid mixer with paddle attachment. Add sugar and vanilla. Continue to whip until light and fluffy. Use this like cool whip, I even used it to make a layered oreo dessert it was delish!

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.
