Cooking with Kurt: Vegetarian Curry Stuffed Peppers

I had a little help from my friend Becky and with some brainstorming, I wanted to make an almost Indian stuffed pepper but vegetarian.  What better way than with couscous.  Add some lentils and pine nuts  for protein and fiber, and more veggies.  Sweating the onions in the oil with curry powder...

Cooking with Kurt: Pesto Primavera

I like pesto… a lot!  After my other pesto dish, I decided to experiment with other things I could do with pesto.  Originally, I made this dish with shrimp but you can freely substitute chicken for our tasty crustacean.  This dish is very colorful, crisp, clean, smooth yet very complex in flavors...

Cooking with Kurt: Tilapia with Olive/Caper Relish

I love fish… I just hate cooking it because it makes the apartment smell like fish for a week!  I spent last night lighting over a half a dozen candles to drown out the smell.  And guess what?  It still smells…  Once you do cook it and make a very tasty meal though, it is well worth...

Cooking with Kurt: Eggplant Parm

This comfort food is always great for the wintertime and will last a whole week! Well… for 2 people anyways.  I’ve made this healthier but I do add a lot of cheese (low-fat) but hey, who doesn’t like cheese?!  I do make a meat sauce (lean turkey meat) but you can make this entirely...
