i am cooking here!

Tonight, I baked.

I baked a stuffed bell pepper.

Yes, something has come over me.

It was...fun.

I think...I am going to try cooking...more.

In all seriousness, I do want to cook more. I have, recently, thanks to my Magic Bullet, discovered the joy in a homemade delectable creation. The Magic Bullet makes cooking very quick with a minimal mess, which is perfect for me because I am not very patient. And thanks to my Magic Bullet, I have had great smoothies, and just for kicks grinded up an apple to make homemade apple sauce!


My bell pepper recipe

1 red bell pepper, cut the top off and removed the seeds, cut in half vertically

1 carrot, grinded to a pulp in the Magic Bullet

1 black bean veggie burger, cooked in the microwave ~ 1 min

some chunky salsa

Combined the grinded carrot, veggie burger, and some salsa in the Magic Blender. Grinded these ingredients, then poured them in the pepper halves, which were in a shallow baking pan.

Cooked them for about 20-25 minutes at 375.

Absolutely wonderful!

hmm... roommate sounds like she's turning into her old roommate... :)

i actually ALMOST made a tuna-stuffed tomato last night (same deal, but you bake it in about 1/4" of water)... but i got lazy and ate it with cucumbers instead. we're still on the same wavelength, even from 15 hours away!

i miss you. i love you. aaaaand i'm going to come to memphis so you can cook me dinner :)
