Cooking Matters El Paso County

Even in winter months, we are grateful to have access to local bison from the San Louis Valley. The students from GOAL Academy used this meat to try quinoa for the first time in a stuffed bell pepper recipe.

Here is a great 15-minute recipe! Canned white beans are convenient, budget-friendly, and pack protein into this great snack for the family. Check out the recipe and more 15-minute meals here:
