Stuffed

I never post pictures of my food but I have a snow day today so I'm home tinkering around in the kitchen. I braved the weather (and a huge nasty slushy puddle) to get to the gym. I did a hard, sweaty 30 minutes on the elliptical (squeaky shoes and all) and called it a day.
While I was on the elliptical, I took a moment from reading my US Weekly to do a mental inventory of our kitchen. I'm been craving couscous lately (not sure what's up with that but..) and was considering if I should just eat it plain or attempt to pretend I'm not a complete carb whore. I cam up with a stuffed pepper! We only had one pepper left, so it worked out well.

For the filling I used about 1/4 cup couscous, 1/2 cup black beans, a diced onion, half a diced tomatoe, a cup of spinach (raw), an ounce of mexican cheese, chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper and some hot sauce. I cut the top off the pepper and cleaned it out. Then I stuffed the filling in, covered it with foil and cooked it at 375 for about 45 minutes. For the last 5 minutes, I put some extra cheese in top and broiled it. Here's the result...



















And the inside....





It was DELISH! And HUGE! And Iate almost all of it!

Maybe I'll post more pictures of my food, its kind of fun (when I'm not eating toast and cereal!)
