Yesterday could be summed up with two words:
SIGN HERE!
and here, and here, and here!
I finally opened my Glo Bakery business accounts (opened a CAD and US account), and applied for a business credit card.
I also filled out all 20 pages of my Beanstream application and ordered a 25 kg bag of gluten-free OATS! My bulk bakery order from the co-op was cancelled, but it will be arriving today. I can’t wait to show you all the pictures of everything I bought.
I also made a new Glo Bakery product.
Coming soon…
Glo-nola.
This one had almonds, cranberries, raisins, pumpkin seeds, spices, coconut oil, and cacao nibs.
When I told Eric the name, Glo-nola, he goes, ‘I don’t get it.’
I was like…GLO…nola! Get it? GLO! Instead of GRA!
Silence.
It was almost as bad as having to explain a joke to someone. I gave up and walked away with my tail between my legs.
I thought to myself, ‘My friends on OSG will SO get this!’ haha. You guys get me…right?!
~~~~~~
After work, it was time for a quick dinner.
Yes, folks. I am still stuffing every vegetable I can get my hands on!
Last night I walked into the kitchen and found these ingredients:
- Black beans
- Leftover Organic Tomato Sauce
- Organic baby carrots
- Peppers
I decided to make a very quick and easy black bean dip and go from there. :)
60 Second Black Bean Dip and Stuffed Peppers
by Angela Liddon
Ingredients:
- 2 peppers
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup tomato/pasta sauce or salsa
- 6 baby carrots, diced
- 1 t Paprika
- Crushed black pepper (I use LOTS!)
Directions: Chop carrots, coarsely. Rinse beans. Dump beans, carrot, pasta sauce, paprika, and pepper into processor. Process for 10 seconds. I like to leave some chunky beans in mine. Cut open 2 peppers and stuff with bean mixture. Place in oven for 15-20 minutes at 350F on a baking sheet. Drizzle with your favourite vinaigrette and enjoy! Wrap up leftover bean mixture for the next day’s lunch.
One of these stuffed peppers packs about 14 grams of protein. This dinner kept me full for a long time (and I didn’t think it would at all).
I served mine with pita wedges:
Mmmmmmm. I loved this.
I can’t wait to eat the leftover bean dip for lunch.

Oooh… any chance the scary fruit is a durian? I love those things :)
Glo-nola? Perfect!! :) Congrats on the official/unofficial opening of Glo Bakery. We tried to make stuffed avocados this week (shrimp salad recipe with cucumber, tomato, shrimp, avocado, spring onion, and a lime juice/OJ dressing) but the avocados kind of fell to pieces when I was scooping out the good stuff! Your stuffed peppers look yummy!
the glo-nola looks SO good!
Eagerly waiting for US shipping, I can’t wait to try the Glo-nola!! BTW, the name is perfect!
no worries..i’m usually the slow one in my family when it comes to jokes and i got the Glo-nola right away! hehe i think its cute!
I love it (and get it.hehe…)!!I can’t wait to try it:-)cc
I just recently started reading your blog, and it’s great! Thank you for writing.
So, I’ve literally just started reading and I got Glo-nola right away. Awesome name.
Also, I had stuffed peppers last night as well. It’s funny that so many of us did! I’m always looking for new fillings though, and your black bean dip sounds simple and delicious. Can’t wait to try it!
Like the others, I got it right away. I think it’s the perfect name – and yummy sounding, too!
I was thinking about stuffed peppers this am – I’m going to try the black bean option for me, meat for my carnivore hubby.
Maureen- Thanks for giving me the little kick in the butt to start buying dried beans again!!
Congratulations on your big business transactions! Woo-hoo!!! I am gluten free and cannot wait to see your GF offerings…incluing Glo-Nola. Duh, totally self-explanatory:) But yes, I have interchanges like that with my husband where it’s like, am I speaking a foreign language? The bean dip looks tasty, although I cannot do beans. Beans beans great for the heart, beans beans…well, ya know :)
Totally got it right away. Don’t worry, my husband wouldn’t have gotten it either ;)
The bean dip looks amazing!!
Mmmm…those peppers look awesome! I totally got the Glo-nola as well! :LOL:
I got the name — Glonola and love it — very creative!
I totally get it Ange – LOVE it too :)
I wanted to let you know that you inspired me to go vegan for (at least now!) one whole week!
I’m on day 5 and so far I’ve only made 2 mistakes…using a baking powder that had traces of cheese in it and throwing a little Ranch dressing on top of a salad. Both of these slip ups were TOTALLY on mistake…I haven’t caved and eaten anything on purpose :)
The only thing I miss is yogurt…I used to eat almost 3 a day! Thanks for all the great recipes on here!I might give those stuffed peppers a shot this weekend!
