Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Colorful Southwestern Skillet Dinner


I've mentioned before I will sometimes plan dinner around the sour cream (for example).  Well, this dinner's inspiration came from the big bowl of pico de gallo sitting in my refrigerator.  At first, I thought I'd make stuffed peppers, but then I thought, "Who am I kidding?  I don't even like stuffed peppers, but I don't mind little bites of bell peppers." Thus, in the middle of dinner preparations, the plan changed. 

Colorful Southwestern Skillet Dinner

2 c. cooked brown rice
1 (15-oz) can black beans
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 c. corn
2 c. pico de gallo
shredded cheese to sprinkle over top
olive oil

Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet.  Saute the peppers for a few minutes, then add in the rice, beans, corn, and pico de gallo.  Cook until hot, stirring occasionally.  Add shredded cheese on top and heat for a few minutes more. 

Thanks for color!

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
