While the visual appeal of the red pepper is nice, the flavor impact is awesome. Double the impact by roasting the peppers, skin, seed, dice and bring up the sugar content.
OMG! seriously get outta my head! I was just thinking that...I Love that smoky rich taste of a roasted red pepper...and it would complement the ham in the chowder also....i know this because when I make scalloped potatoes i add chopped roasted red pepper and ham to it....they play well together

Lmao..get outta your head. You think like a Chef. Yay! cinnamongrrlchef. Has a ring to it.

The ham is good but try the Trader Joes Applewood Smoked bacon. If you can find the kind that is cured in cider, your gonna hate on me bigtime.

Its that good.

Not a chef but I play short order cook to the 6 year old, known as The General....

Keeping her particular taste buds in mind (seriously she all sorts of serious about food consistency and smell)....

Dinner tonight is in the crock pot..."Some sort of Soup"
Rainbow rotini noodles
Tomato sauce (pint jar my sauce is just tomatoes)
Stewed tomatoes (not drained, quart jar again just tomatoes)
pink beans (not drained + 1 can of water)
carrots chopped
green beans (fresh, frozen or canned doesn't matter. I used MY canned not drained beans as those are the ones The General loves the most)
3 tablespoons of pesto (or more if you like)
salt to taste

We will be topping with Parmesan cheese later.
Must frost cookies now.

Yum. Looks good and healthy. What a great way to play on pasta and tomato, which many kids like, while also working in some good protein and vegetables.

Good job!

My teenager, who I call "mini-diva" because she really is a mini version of her Mom, is a vegetarian and does not like tomato or tomato sauce. This eliminates about 80% of the Italian food ideas that I come up with for her. The only thing that she will eat with my veg tomato sauce is eggplant parmesan when I make it for her. Then she can eat that for days and never tire of it.

Go figure.

Thank you Sun. I was thinking of it as spaghetti soup.

What is it with kids huh? LOL, I am far pickier than The General. She doesn't like food that smells "hot" (she means spicy). So for enchiladas I add pureed carrots so the sauce doesn't smell hot. Then she'll eat them up and they are healthier for me. Luckily, cumin is not hot smelling .

The General also does not like meat much. She will eat roasted chicken and beef in stew. Otherwise no thank you.

Tomatoes are one of those foods that The general loves fresh and canned. I can my own tomatoes which means they are always a part of some dish/sauce. Mini Diva is missing out, but maybe they are just too strong of a smell/taste for her. Lucky for her you keep trying.

Speaking of Italian food, when I was in my International Cuisine course, I drew northern Italy for my practical exam. I made Asiago Chicken, Rice with Savoy Cabbage (though I used a regular cabbage, instead, as it was all that was available), and topped the chicken with alfredo sauce.

I originally got the recipe for Rice and Savoy Cabbage from About.com, but modified it a bit for home use, so that it is less expensive to make. I have found that regular green cabbage works very well, and so does long grain rice. Originally, the recipe called for short grained rice, which is more expensive, at least in my area. This is my version of it:

1 1/4 cups Rice
1 lb Cabbage
1 Onion, peeled and finely chopped
4 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese ( I often substitute some Asiago cheese, for part of the Parmesan)
Salt and White Pepper to taste
1 quart Beef broth, stock, or unsalted bouillion (meat or vegetable), simmering

After you take off the outer leaves of the Cabbage, cut the cabbage into shreds.
Heat the Olive Oil and Butter in a pot and saute the chopped Onion until it is translucent golden in color. Add the cabbage and continue cooking, stirring them about, until they have wilted. Add a cup of hot broth (stock) to the pot, cover, and simmer on low for about 20 minutes. Remember to stir it occasionally.

Stir in the rice, add the rest of the stock, and check the seasoning. Simmer until the rice is fully cooked. Add the cheese in, do a final check of the seasoning, and serve.
