Sloppy Joe's for Sunday Foot Ball ( a week late)
Sorry for the lack of posting but I have been sick and very busy over the past week. Last weekend we went to a Halloween Party at a restaurant/lounge and the fog machines set the fire alarms off. We had to stand outside in the rain for about a 1/2 before we were aloud back inside or to leave.We chose to leave because at that point we were soaked. Needless to say I ended up with a cold. It didn't really hit full force until Monday so I was able to make a nice Sunday Football meal. So I have a confession to make, I had never had a Sloppy Joe before I met my husband. Growing up I would always see the commercials for Manwich , I mean who hasn't but had never tried one. So one snowy night back when we were dating that was pretty much all he had in his kitchen so Manwich night it was! I have to admit they weren't half bad, but for some reason I have never had them again. Once a week I have my husband pick out a cookbook for me to cook some recipes from. This week he picked out the Everyday Food cookbook and I stumbled across a Sloppy Joe recipe that looked delicious, and probably much healthier. So I decided that was the on the menu for Sunday Football along with some homemade pita chips and red pepper hummus. The Sloppy Joes can also be made in slow cooker, but today I decided to make them on the stove top. I had picked up some green peppers at the market for the Sloppy Joes and grabbed a jar of roasted red peppers for the hummus. My husband is a big fan of hummus growing up in a Lebanese house. I'll admit I usually just buy the ready made hummus at the store but after picking up a Lebanese cookbook written by some of my husband's family for their church I decided to try homemade. Red Pepper Hummus Original recipe from A Legacy of Love written by the ladies of St Anthony of the Desert Church Items Needed: Food Processor or Blender 1-2 cloves garlic2-3 tbsp tahini (sesame paste) 1 lemon juicedsalt ( to taste) 1-2 roasted red peppers Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender using only one pepper.
