Stuffed Tomatoes with Quinoa


Matthew helped grow a garden this year---tomatoes (cherry and the larger ones) along with green pepper, asparagus, rhubarb and onions.


With the abundance of tomatoes, I was in search for the perfect recipe. I found it!!




NOTE: We left out the parm cheese and breadcrumbs

I would also recommend pairing with a smaller cut of meat, perhaps a small fillet. Matthew gobbled this stuff up!


Again, Quinoa is a grain that is VERY high in protein--perfect for those on restricted diets.

Pork tenderloins with a white cream sauce and pasta

I was looking for something different so decided to look at pork recipes--found one on Rachael Ray's website that I liked and made some switches of my own.

2 pork chops---cut them width-wise so they were thinner and then cut in medallion size pieces
Brown Rice Flour--dredge the pork chops in it
Olive Oil--heat and then place the pork chops in it--cook on both sides, remove and cover with foil

In the meantime....
Pasta---make the pasta of your choice. We use quinoa pasta

Cream sauce--
I used the "white cream sauce" that I had in an earlier post and added some garlic

Mushrooms---
Saute in soy-free, dairy free butter and add some garlic. Place in the cream sauce

Sweet potatoes---I pressure cooked them. Delicious! For an added treat, I used a mixer and combined the sweet potatoes, a little rice milk, a little allergy free butter and then some pumpkin pie spice. Matthew couldn't get enough of it!!

Voila!!! Dinner is served.
I put the white sauce over the noodles and the pork---delicious. Enjoy!
