    Bell Pepper Nachos

    Still working on your menu for the big game?  I've been taste testing recipes over the last few weeks, and I'll definitely be making these Bell Pepper Nachos again.   My guys will be scarfing down crispy cheesy treats, and I didn't want to be left out just because I'm eating healthier.   

    I made some slight changes, the first was to not use any green peppers, I prefer the red, yellow, and orange.   I used a brown rice and quinoa mix.  I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I used dried parsley. I love that you can pre-prep them and pop them under the broiler at a later time. Thank you so much to Aneta K for sharing the recipe!

    Bell Pepper Nachos

    Ingredients

    • 2 medium sweet orange peppers
    • 2 medium sweet red pepper
    • 2 medium sweet yellow pepper
    • 2 medium plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
    • 1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice/quinoa mix
    • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
    • 4 teaspoons dried parsley
    • 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
    • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

    Instructions

    1. Cut peppers into 1-1/2- to 2-in. squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to form two triangles; set aside.
    2. In a lightly greased skillet, cook the tomatoes, onion, chili powder and cumin over medium heat for 3 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
    3. Remove from the heat. Add rice, Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro and hot pepper sauce; stir well.
    4. Spoon a heaping tablespoon onto each pepper triangle. Place on greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
    5. Broil 6-8 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and rice mixture is heated through.

    Notes

    Note: These appetizers can be assembled ahead of time. Place on baking sheets, cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before broiling.

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

    I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

    Stuffed Waffles

    I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

    Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
