You are welcome! I think the sausage idea is a great one! The peppers have to be pretty big. Hopefully the weather will allow us to try this on the grill soon!

I could slice them length-wise in half if they are too big. :D My dad would love these, too.

I'm gonna whip up somethin' to toss with some pasta tonight... not sauce... I'm thinkin' roasted garlic evoo (with the remaining cloves suspended within) and some Brussels sprouts, not sure how many... perhaps a little chopped broccoli thrown in... maybe a wee bit of lemon juice... lots of herbs & spices, some nooch of course.... I definitely want to add baby spinach & fresh diced tomatoes just before serving.... I dunno, I'll figure something out. ;)

Gotta put the pasta on & hope the storm isn't so bad the power goes out.... but I'm making what I talked about up yonder ^^^^ :cool:
 
Scrubbed three large baby bella mushrooms, gonna slice 'em up & put 'em on the noochified frozen pizza (note to self: get new mushroom brush).... It appears that rice crust pizzas need a bit more attentiveness than wheat flour ones.... I'll have to tough it out, I guess. :rolleyes:

It says to rotate half-way through cooking... I do that every time I bake anything. So I'm gonna give it 6 minutes (out of 10-12), remove it, put it on a cool rack so I can then add extra spinach & tomato, then pop 'er back in.
 
OK, did all that... and I think I'm gonna finish this baby up in my big skillet. Our oven is vintage and can be a little funky with temperatures (good thing there's an oven thermometer in there)... plus this is a rice crust.... I began to notice a faint burning odor. I want the crust to be crisp, not burned... and I don't mind if the fresh veggies are "lightly cooked"... I love it all! I already munched the leftover mushroom slices that wouldn't fit.... :D

Scrubbin' the rest of my mushrooms... need to get those sliced & chop some onion, get started on some pasta sauce....

I dunno if this is going to qualify as a "sauce"... I want the element of fresh veggies, not pasta slogged down with heavy stuff. I have 14 decent-sized baby bella mushrooms, I'll chop up the entire sweet onion, sauté those in roasted garlic evoo, toss in the rest of my frozen chopped broccoli, lots of baby spinach, and just add one large can of (rinsed & drained) petite diced tomatoes.... Yeah, that's sounds like something. LOL :p

Ooh, and can't forget about the garbanzos! :)

I'm so glad it's corn season! We have locally grown organic corn available and I will likely have corn on the cob every night I'm home to cook until fall. :lick:

Ours isn't ready yet, but it should be in a few weeks. I can't wait! In the meantime, I can snag Jersey corn, which is usually pretty good.
 
I defrosted a Flatout (light Italian) wrap.... gonna make a wrap. LOL :p

Got lots of veggies left, I wanna find out what they taste like without pasta, but nestled in a warm flatbread with Chao "cheese".... :up:
 
@Poppy - that's so nice! What all is in that arrangement? What is in the middle 'cage'?
My basil isn't growing much, and my sons cilantro went to seed already! Does mean I'll get coriander?
