The technique is completely different, so I had to cook these without her seeing, but the smile on her face makes everything worth it. My first recipe from SK - and by god I'm happy to have stumbled upon you! Thanks a million - and good luck with the wee wrinkler you just made!

I made this a couple of nights ago and my husband and I were licking our fingers. We changed up the cheese since we are not feta fans but anyway...I dedicated my blog to you! :) Thanks for making such a big impression! http://cookingwithteresa.blogspot.com/2009/03/couscous-and-jalapeno-monterrey-jack.html Deb you are so amazing!

So, while poking around I found this recipe and made it for dinner tonight. I went with 5 peppers and had left over filling. Dinner was delicious. I recently stumbled upon your blog.

I made these tonight and they were delicious! I added the sausage and made it gluten free, so no couscous. but rice worked nice:) Our oven is broke so I made them on the grill, which worked great and added a nice flavor and some pretty grill marks. I wrapped the peppers in foil and put them on the grill while I made the stuffing. Then after I filled them I put them back on the grill. I rolled the foil up and set it on either side of them, so they wouldn't fall over. I think the grill is my new favorite way to make stuffed peppers. Who knew? Thanks again! I love your site!

YUM! I added some Greek olives and left out the chick peas. But with fresh tomatoes, last of the summer from my garden I am afraid, they turned out great. Very tasty. I made these yesterday! YUM!

I know Alex knows how lucky he is to have found his match in someone who is also as good with food as you are. As a political scientist who knows how to slice and heat, and is in a very satisfying and restaurant-heavy relationship with a fellow political scientist who can thaw and dress, I believe I can speak for both of us here: we are jealous. Foodies who can't cook are a bit hypocritical, right? Or are we like critics of virtually anything else, (supposedly) highly skilled in the ability to discern quality product, yet unable or unwilling to create it ourselves? We find solace in our ability to find the best hidden restaurants, yet not so secretly wish we had your aptitude. You give us ideas. Maybe one of us will try to recreate this... I'm sure the other will be kind enough to pick up an alternate meal on the way home. Thanks for excellent and engaging food writing! Gah.

So when I said crawl, I meant it!
