How about a break from the jewelry? I finally fixed us a nice dinner. We had lamb chops on the BBQ, zucchini, and Brad's favorite baked orzo.

Baked Orzo:
1 cup cooked orzo
2/3 c. light sour cream (I used half low-fat cottage cheese this time)
1 can diced green chilies
salt and pepper to taste
4 oz. grated pepper jack cheese
Stir together first four ingredients with half the pepper jack. Top with remaining pepper jack cheese. Bake at 350 for 35 min.

My green chillies are like your designer glasses. Stored carefully and looked at. Too hard to get by far!
Anyway, you did use bejeweled plates.

Have you ever used fat free sour cream in the orzo? It looks good!

I've never used "free", just "light", but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It is mainly for creaminess/moisture anyway. Try it, and let us know! I threw in cottage cheese last time, and it was good because I didn't have enough sour cream.

Palma that looks fantastic!
You must be off soon - have a great trip, I hope it all goes brilliantly for you. May you have super weather, may all your cappuccini be perfectly made and I'm looking forward to reading about it on your return! :)

Okay - it came out good with the fat free sour cream. I want to figure out though how to give it just a touch more of a kick now though - the peppers were good but maybe our cheese wasn't as spicy as I had hoped. Yum though and so easy to prepare.
