Quinoa & Chorizo Stuffed Peppers- May 11, 2010

I love stuffed peppers as a meal. You can usually make them ahead and pop them in the over (although they do take a while in there). This is a Whole Foods recipe that contains all sorts of wonderful things for your body. Of course I had to go and add chorizo sausage to it, but not very much. These were delicious and you don't need your V8 when you have one of these!

Red Quinoa, Brown Rice & Chicken Salad- April 6, 2010

Whole Foods was handing out a little spring magazine which is where I found this recipe. Quinoa is yummy and very good for you, as is brown rice. I don't usually make brown rice because it takes so long to cook, but I discovered Whole Foods carries it frozen. You just microwave it for two minutes and its done! This recipe was vegetarian but I added some rotisserie chicken. Basically you had the rice, quinoa, chicken, some asparagus, canned artichoke hearts, feta cheese and then you added a light vinaigrette to that. It was very yummy as a side or a main.
