For some crazy reason "filled cylinders" as a theme came to mind when I decided to cook something yummy and not-quite-normal for dinner. It turned out to be an extremely awesome combination of flavors, and actually pretty healthy. It consisted of:
A red pepper section (fresh raw) deseeded/devained & filled with spanish rice (box -- I made this after a full day of work & taking Hunter to TKD... no time for scratch). Garnished with thin slices of Cougar Smoky Cheddar.
A roma tomato half (fresh raw) scooped & filled with cottage cheese & a garnish of romaine.
Three carrot sections (fresh raw), cored and filled with a puree of the leftover carrot, neufchâtel cheese, 1 Tbs soy sauce, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp chili powder.
Garnished with (fresh raw) avocado slices and more carrot puree.
A person *could* cook/bake the tomato, pepper, and carrots... but they'd just not taste the same.
Dessert is another filled cylinder - strawberry shortcake with whip cream!
