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.

Power Breakfast
It's not always fun prepping for healthy meals, all the washing and cutting but when you take the time it is truly worth it.
We cooked up some "dippy" eggs along with sauteed peppers, fingerling potatoes, onions and chunks of garlic. It was so delicious and although the prep time was tedious the clean up was easy.
Unfortunately I just found out that peppers and tomatoes are inflammatory foods. That is truly going to cramp us up here since that is our primary garden staple and a favorite.
That is the most difficult part of a special diet, the constant discovery of foods that you think should be so great and wonderful for the body but just aren't.
Substitutes please?

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.
