We had a few new items on the menu for lunch today.
I had made an appetizer for New Year's Eve and had more of the ingredients on hand so I made another batch for today. They are called Broiled Stuffed Pepper Wedges and I found the recipe at Tammy's Recipes.
Here they are before broiling:
Here they are ready to eat:
The next new recipe was from this book that I got from my friend, Marge, for Christmas.
It is basically a stir fry of asparagus, snow peas, frozen peas, and green onions with a sauce. The sauce was OK, but the next time I plan to just season the vegetables with soy sauce and sesame oil after a quick stir fry. I thought the combination was really pretty and tasted good.
Here's a picture of the finished stir-fry:
The final new recipe was from this book that I got for Christmas from my friend, Sandy.
Sandy knows that Rob and I both have read a number of the Cat Who... mysteries by Lilian Jackson Braun. The beauty of this particular recipe was that it used up the half can of leftover jellied cranberry sauce that I had in the refrigerator left from my DSIL's recent visit. You just make a box of jello with one cup of boiling water, 1 cup of sour cream and one cup of the cranberry sauce, let it thicken slightly and pour into a baked pie shell. I did have to run the mixture through the blender because the cranberry sauce wouldn't blend in with a whisk.
We had all these new dishes with an old family favorite - Pizza Rolls. I will have to post that recipe on another day.

The stuffed peppers look delicious, Becka! I definitely want to try those sometime. The link is blocked from my on-campus connection, so I’ll need to get to it from the family home computer. But it definitely looks like it’s worth the effort!
Keep up the blogging!

The broiled peppers are really easy, quick, and pretty. I think you will enjoy them if you give them a try.
Thanks for your kind comment.
