Wow! This recipe was fantastic. I always modify recipes based on what I have on hand, but one big thing is I made a quinoa/black bean mixture instead of using cornmeal. I used 2 jalapenos instead of one also. For the sauce I used organic tomato paste and added water, minced onions, jalapenos, garlic, and garlic salt. I also tried stuffing bell peppers with this, and it was equally as good!

I'm a professor of physics and astronomy at a small liberal arts college.
My husband is a good cook and a real dear about helping out with the cooking, but I don't surrender the kitchen too often, because I really love cooking, even after a long day—though I really appreciate recipes that are quick and easy.
Aside from cooking, I also enjoy reading (mostly science fiction, though I try to keep my horizons broad) and board games, card games, and role-playing games.
