Corey and I needed a quick, light dinner before we went to U2 last night, so we tried these stuffed poblanos. They were great, and prep time was less than 10 minutes because the cooking is done in the microwave!

Sadie was very sad to miss the concert - it was great with lots of energy! She was waiting by the door for us when we finally got home at 11:30 so that we could tell her all about it!
These look and sound delicious!
