I'm not a Vegetarian, but...

This is what we're having for dinner. Yesterday it was brown rice with canned kidney beans, sauteed garlic, cajun spices, chili powder, and sea salt (boiled sweet potatoes on the side). Today I dumped in leftover spaghetti sauce and mozzarella. We have this basil growing in our window, so I just threw it on for fun. Basil may not be as versatile as bacon, but it is generally a good idea. Voila! Easy-peasy stuffed pepper "boats."

I'm always interested in more recipes featuring rice and beans, so feel free to share.

Looks good except for the rice. That stuff kills me.

It was tasty. You might try quinoa. I use it interchangeably with brown rice and even make it in the rice cooker.

Try layering tortillas in between cheese-topped rice/refried bean/salsa mixture for a yummy Mexican lasagna. I make my own refried beans so that I can add tons of yummy veggies to it.

I ran across some of your other writings, and remembered you from Wymount. I hope your current two-bedroom apartment is bigger than the one you had there! We still have fond memories of your husband's choir arrangements. Glad to see you're keeping busy in the city!
