Simple 30 Minute Dinner

 

This week we want to share an easy recipe that can be done in less than 30 minutes. Many of us don't have a lot of time in our hands with work, kids, and sometimes school, so we are very limited on how much time with can spend preparing a healthy and tasty meal. This is a great recipe for a quick and easy dinner.

Everyone loves goat cheese!

Whenever I have a BBQ, a girl's night in, or a dinner party there is an unspoken duty to bring some sort of a side or an appetizer. There is always a salad, and a dip (with a bottle of wine matched up). The funny thing is, is that on several occasions more than one or more of my friends would show up with a goat cheese and "something-or-other" treat, and they always explain that they just looovvve goat cheese! Here's a dish that never fails and if very easy to make for any sort of occasion.

 Goat Cheese Stuffed Sweet Peppers:

Ingredients

30 mini sweet peppers

18 ounces of goat cheese or herbed goat cheese (if you want more seasoning)

15-30 green cocktail olives

Directions

You can either cut the stem end of the pepper off and stuff the pepper like a pocket, or you can cut it again the long way into a boat. Stuff the pepper with the goat cheese. Cut a cocktail olive in half, and press it into the goat cheese. Leave some peppers with out the olives - some people may not fancy the olive. Place the stuffed peppers on a cooking sheet about a 1/2 inch apart.

Once the oven has been preheated to 350* place the cooking sheet onto the middle rack and cook for 20-25mins.

Vegetarian Cooking

We all have friends or family members who are vegetarian that occasionally are in your company for meal time. It's a great opportunity to experiment with new cooking ideas and try out something you may not have otherwise. A vegetarian diet can be very healthy if it is done properly. This week we will be providing you with a FREE vegetarian pasta recipe that can also be made with chicken for the carnivores in the family.
