The recipes said to use either tomato sauce or canned tomatoes. I used stewed canned tomatoes (about 3/4 cup), brown rice & quinoa mix (1cup) instead of plain rice, 1 small onion and used ground sirloin (1/2 pound). Garlic, salt & pepper added. Cooked all together then stuffed into cooked pepper shells and topped with shredded cheese. Baked 15 minutes at 350 degrees and amped up to 400 to brown top).
Recipe for 4 servings. Thought might be bland so put siracha sauce on table but was tasty without. Was going to freeze a few but DH vetoed saying he would eat again in a few days. It is not something I would want often but is a good way to use up extra peppers.

Siracha sauce! I have substituted that for the sambol-oblek I can no longer get. I like it very much.

Thanks frugal-one and IL,for the recipes. Seems similar to what I did, but I will definitely try again down the road. (Give the family time to forget about the failed attempt. ROFLOL)

Roasted Brussel sprouts, baked tofu, and rice with a honey sesame glaze. It's a favorite when there's some extra time for prep. I have this woman's hard copy cook book and it a go to cookbook for several things.

Homemade lentil soup and grilled cheese

Shrimp and grits with avocado, grapefruit, spinach salad.

Tonight is going to be buffalo chicken drumsticks and steamed cauliflower. The drumsticks were on sale half off at Safeway today. $2.38 for about a dozen of them. And the cauliflower is left over from a friend's party saturday where it was served cold with dip.

The Christmas festivities start today. Will be going to sil's for Santa and dinner. Various pasta dishes and I'm taking the garlic bread.

Polenta with red sauce. I just recently discovered Bob's Red Mill Polenta, which cooks up in about 5 minutes, as opposed to the longer constant stir method I recall. Enough left over for a fried polenta and syrup breakfast.

DH makes a wonderful butternut squash soup made with apples, coconut milk and spices so that is what we had along with salad.

Last night was a pan of various veggies and root veggies grilled and then served on couscous. We're trying to do a couple nights of vegetarian, so that went well.
