I just wanted to give a brief explanation for why I've slowed down a bit, and a promise that I'll pick up speed again this fall!
Right now my daughter is out of school and with me full time, and we are living out on our mooring. On the mooring, the days are beautiful but the internet connection is shoddy. Also, without shore power I have to rely on our batteries... and it isn't so good to draw them way down by loading pictures.
I do hope folks will continue checking for news and recipes, since I will keep posting!! Just not as quickly as I would like. Come September, there will be some time and power...

Sweet Mini Peppers Stuffed with Herbed Goat Cheese
For a couple weeks, at each visit to the grocery store, I've been walking past these two pound bags of sweet mini peppers. What would I possibly do with two pounds of sweet mini peppers? I asked myself that each time.
But... the price kept bringing me back :$3.59 for two pounds. Finally, I bought them. And then I had two pounds of peppers to use up quick. Fortunately, I discovered a recipe on the back of the bag. A recipe that called for preheating an oven to 350 degrees, but I'm getting better and better at disregarding that bit of advice.
For this post, I undertook a five dollar experiment. Herbed goat cheese plus a portion of the peppers, and the results were awesome. Plus, I had enough goat cheese left over for about three more peppers than you'll see in the pics.
No oven excuses. Wow your dock neighbors with these tomorrow night. But don't tell them how easy it was...
Sweet Mini Peppers Stuffed with Herbed Goat Cheese
You will need...
12 Sweet Mini Peppers
4 oz. Herbed Goat Cheese
1/2 Tablespoon Olive oil for pan
1) Wash peppers. Leaving the stem intact, cut a slit along the top of each pepper and remove the seeds.
2) Spoon cheese into prepared peppers.
3) Warm pan and olive oil over medium-low heat. Arrange filled peppers in pan, and cover. When bottoms are golden brown, use spatula and/or fingers to flip peppers. I rotated mine to three different sides, covering pan between flips.
4) When cheese is heated through and peppers are crisp-tender, they are done!
Almost too good. We want more.
