I have made stuffed peppers in the past with ground beef and rice. This is a twist on that classic and dinner tonight was really to make good use of my fridge and freezer items.

Smokers are an awesome piece of equipment! The most rejected meats can turn them into fall-off-the-bone delicacies when you use a smoker. Sadly, the money or space for a smoker needed for a smoker is not available to everyone. Thankfully, even without a smoker you can get that aroma and taste of meat that is slowly cook in your backyard on your grill even in your house in your oven.
We currently own this smoker Bradley Digital 4-Rack Electric Smoker | Canadian Tire.

the 5 o’clock rush was pleasantly surprised and honoured to be chosen to participate in the Pulo Recipe Challenge.
The challenge is to develop a recipe using the products from Pulo Cuisine.
the 5 o’clock rush was given sample products to review for this post. The package arrived with 2 cooking sauces and 3 marinades.
Pulo, which means ISLAND, is an authentic collection of sauces and marinades inspired by the 7000 islands of the Philippines – the original fusion cuisine where East (Asia) meets West (Spanish)
NO ARTIFICIAL FLAVOURS, COLOURS, OR PRESERVATIVES. VEGAN.
The Malay, Chinese, Spanish and Indian cultures are the culinary influences of the Philippines, using the Samal Island ‘Pulo Cuisine Pineapple Tamarind Marinade’ I developed a meal of tacos with an asian twist.

Samal Island Pineapple Tamarind Marinade balances sweet and sour aromas with a refreshing fruity flavour.

Here are the latest pictures from the 5 o’clock rush kitchen for this week’s Weekday Wrap Up.
The pictures are the Dinner Spread we enjoyed at the trailer with friends. When we entertain at the trailer, or Glamping, there is always lots of food and lots of variety. And we utilize the charcoal BBQ for everything, even dessert.
Dinner Spread Menu included:
Main Dishes were Salmon steamed in foil, Fresh Caught Pickerel which was pan-fried, Smoked Scallops, and Chicken Breasts.
Sides were Wild Rice and Mashed Potatoes with garlic and brie. Mozzarella, tomatoes with Homemade Pesto and balsamic glaze. And a Spinach Salad with tomatoes and peppers.
Dessert was Grilled Ontario Peaches with Ontario Maple Syrup.
This is the last long weekend of the summer in Canada before school starts. 😦
Back to more consistent dinners, after school activities and the dreaded school lunches. 😛
Have a great long weekend
