I'm a busy mom who happens to be a vegetarian and an advocate for home-cooked foods... which means I'm always looking for quick, easy, nutritious vegetarian recipes. If they're kid-friendly, all the better! I'm also interested in the health benefits of natural supplements and uses for natural products. I'm willing to share all my interests, curiosities and proven yummy recipes!

Spicy Rice Casserole
This one was a throw-together last night that turned out pretty well... I intended to make Green Chile Casserole (which I will post later) but found I was out of green chiles, so I was forced to improvise. I also forgot to turn on the slow cooker, so I ended up throwing the whole thing in a pan, then in the oven, BUT it was meant to be crock-potted so that's how I will report it.
1 medium green pepper, diced
1/3 cup diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 1/2 cups chopped mushrooms (I used crimini)
1 28-oz can whole stewed tomatoes in juice
1 14-oz can corn, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen sweet peas
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup brown rice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp Tony Chachere's
Throw everything except the cheese in the slow cooker on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. (Rice should be tender and liquid will be mostly simmered out.) Sprinkle cheese on top.
