2016 - Week 41 Cooking Results

I used 3/4ths of the bag of peppers.  I made lots of progress, but when it comes down to it, it was really a lot of peppers.

Spaghetti Squash al Pomodoro

Good stuff, came together without much effort (a lot of waiting).  the sauce was nicely reduced as the squash finished cooking.

On this note, we have both grown tired of Spaghetti Squash, so I think we'll wait for next season to get another one.  It was certainly nice to fill some of that missing pasta desire.

Stuffed Peppers

The peppers aren't very big, so stuffing them is not exactly easy, but I was able to empty out some chicken sausage and onions, and stuff them into a few peppers.  and let them bake in the oven until the peppers were softer and the meat was cooked.

Taco Salad (using the peppers)

What you might think, but a lot of the bag of peppers diced and cooked with the beef and onions.  Good stuffs.

Bean free chili

Ok I added a few beans, not a lot but a few.  So a lot more meat then normal.  I tried to keep the heat level down, for my own tummy and Shannon's good will towards me.  I had the added benefit of having two of my brothers over for dinner as well.  I was happy with how it came out, but the idea of having to rebuilding my chili recipe is making me mildly depressed.

Strip Steak with Gorgonzola

So here's where we are at.  I prefer Pork over other meats.  Shannon prefers Chicken.  I do like a steak from time to time, and I am eating more beef for the purpose of getting more iron in my diet.  Shannon isn't much of a steak fan, so the request has come to make something else for her, if steak is on the menu.  It's fair, we don't have beef that often and I generally choose a tougher cut of meat for the purpose of taste.  So that'll have to happen.

Anyways, beyond that it was still a good dish.
