Toasted quinoa, sauteed spinach, hazelnuts and sun-dried tomato are tossed with salty feta cheese and extra-virgin olive oil, then stuffed into colorful sweet bell peppers. Not only look divine, but they also taste delicious.

Mayan truffles roll dark chocolate ganache spiked with Kahlua and instant coffee into rich cocoa-dusted bites. The coffee deepens the chocolate, the liqueur warms it, and the double dip in melted chocolate gives each truffle a snap.

Banana Stuffed French Toast cuts pockets into sourdough slices, tucks in fresh banana quarters, dips in egg and cream custard, grills until golden, and finishes with a cinnamon-sugar sprinkle. Ready in 20 minutes.
