Don’t worry, I found Sargent’s home. 

 

And this little snack was DELICIOUS.

A green pepper, stuffed with brown rice, lentils, and two tablespoons of balsamic vin dressing, topped off with {horseradish} hummus and baked at 400 degrees for 40 minutes.  So cute and compact.

Aw- glad you found his home… I don’t think your dogs could share anymore of your attention!

Yum! that looks delicious! We made stuffed peppers first and my mom boiled the peppers first…I don’t think I liked that as well as I would just BAKING the pepper.

While Sargent is indeed adorable, I have to comment on Henry’s choice of reading/nomming material! That is a fantastic book! Kevin Henkes is a wonderful author (from my home state of Wisconsin!) I’d love to hear what else you’re reading to him!

That looks delish! Just curious, did you hear about the study finding arsenic in rice? What are your thoughts?

Glad I’m not the only one. My husband keeps telling me that down here in Tennessee, people just let their dogs roam, so I shouldn’t try to pick up the same number of “lost dogs” that I used to in Boston.

I would’ve gone all Elmyra from Tiny Toons and kept Sarge for my very own–sooo cute. I adore bullies!

And Henry has quite a hunger for knowledge. :p

Love that dog!

Is the use of curly brackets a “thing” in blog writing now? I have to ask.

Sargent is THE CuTEST!!

That stuffed pepper looks great. I’ve been making something similar with quinoa, but didn’t think to use humus. So much healthier than the cheese I’ve been using. :)

I have a recipe that I think you’ll like – something to get you out of your food rut!! Lemon Rice soup!

3 cups veggie broth
2 – 3 oz uncooked rice (or can use about 1/2 cup cooked (I eyeball it!))
4 TBS lemon juice
2 eggs
salt n peppa

Bring broth to a boil, add rice and turn down to simmer. If using uncooked rice, put lid on and simmer for 20 minutes. If using cooked rice, continue with the recipe! While rice cooks (or if cooked) beat 2 eggs in small bowl with lemon juice. Once rice is cooked, add 1 cup of hot broth/rice to eggs, stirring continuously. Add egg/lemon/rice/broth mixture back into pot, stirring to combine and heating through, being careful not to boil. Season to taste.

Very easy and we always have the stuff on hand for this soup. Can also add carrots, celery, etc to bulk it up a bit.

hahaha you do find a lot of stray animals. haha. Glad you are looking out for them. Several times the husband and I tried to catch the animal so we could take it home but they have escaped us. Strange. I just have to hope they made it home eventually.

Thank goodness you found him! Bulldogs are one of the breeds that get stolen. I bet his parents were relieved.
