Can she recreate a recipe? Why yes she can...

We haven't heard any feedback of any readers attempting one of Tom's recipes so I thought it only fair that while he is traveling I make an attempt to follow one of his posted recipes and see if I could recreate.  Result...It seems that Tom does it a pretty good job giving recipe instructions on this blog.  While Tom is away I go back to a few things I enjoy and can cook rather well (at least I seem to think so) one of them is stuffed peppers.  I LOVE Tom's stuffed peppers and I asked him a billion questions as he cooked them over the years and I finally have remembered most of the instructions :-).  This evening I decided to prepare the stuffed peppers and pair with his avocado salsa.

This was the salsa in the tupperware just after shake up.  A few hints for anyone interested in attempting this recipe.  You probably can go lighter than 1/2 of red onion especially if you are sensitive to the taste.  I put in a bit too much and really could taste it.  Also when choosing your avocado I would go with one that is not very ripe and extremely soft..you will find that it will get a bit smooshed in the shake up process!  Otherwise this tasted great and hoping I can figure something out to make tomorrow with it.  

I followed Tom's recipe for cook time with the peppers.  I also had black beans and yellow rice from leftover from my meal last night.  So I then put in 1 1/2 cilantro and red pepper chicken sausages and some shredded cheese with about a cup of the beans and rice and put into one bell pepper and one somewhat decent size cubanelle pepper.  Final product...

Let's just say I don't plate as well as Tom but for a dinner for one in less than 1 hour I was pretty pleased with myself.  Two days down and 3 more to go until chef ...err...I mean hubby gets home!  

Bon Appétit
