I forgot that I'm not fond of goat cheese used as pasta sauce. I love goat cheese, but it just doesn't work for me on pasta. Seth liked it, though (and made me include a separate rating for him). 

We roasted the broccoli using the Cook's Illustrated method instead of steaming it. I can't get enough of roasted broccoli these days!

This was a tasty vegetarian entree. The peppers, goat cheese, and couscous blend well together. We roasted the peppers over our gas stovetop before stuffing them; we set them over a low flame and let the skin soften and blacken. The original recipe calls for quinoa, but we had couscous on hand, so that's what we used.

My favorite was the roasted potatoes. We liked them better than our homemade fries. The recipe called for peeled potatoes, but I like potato skins, so I left them on. They were great.
