Bad Version of Eggplant Pomodoro Pasta

I saw a delicious looking recipe on-line called Eggplant Pomodoro that included red wine vinegar and olives and so on.   A little Mediterranean which is good for Steve's skin but when I went to make it I realized I really wasn't prepared.

So typical of a non-chef, non-cook!  So I did what I do and I substituted.  I thought it was good but I decided either I don't know how to cook eggplant well or I just don't like it.

While the family nibbled on some fresh green beans I cut up some:
--eggplant
--broccoli
--onion
--tomatoes
--garlic
and boiled up quinoa spiral noodles (what are they called, the spiral)?

After all the vegetables were sauteed in a little oil and lemon I tossed in the noodles.  It wasn't really yummy (but good) but I wish I took a picture because it looked superb.

A little salt and pepper, extra lemon for me and of course Steve added his sirachi, which makes anything good!

I don't care though because he ate a boat load of fresh ingredients full of all the nutrients a fella needs.

Stuffed Peppers- Kerry Style

Ok Ok I posted the other day about the hell I bring on the kitchen when I try to cook but tonight was a success.

I plucked some green peppers and one lonely red pepper off the vines and opened the fridge; what goodies await me?  A bunch of good stuff and okra and a lonely yellow pepper.

Before I go on, my home grown peppers blew away the yellow store bought.  Mine were think and crisp while the store bought had very thin "meat" on it.

While the quinoa cooked I diced up some tomatoes, onion, portabella and okra.  I'm getting better, it only took my about 12 minutes to cut it all up.

After the quinoa was ready I mixed up the ingredients and stuffed those peppers.

On 400 for about 30 minutes, topped with a little mozzarella and tomato sauce and a success was made!

Maybe I can get a hang of this whole cooking thing.
