Mmm Mmm Good

Reviewing over the past few blog posts (or lack of), it is easy to tell we are back in the grind.  A typical day consists of: 


*waking up at 5:30 for Ryan and closer to 7 for me!
*exercise
*a 2-minute breakfast and quick but heartfelt hugs/goodbyes
*school school school until around 6
*a simple dinner
*never ending homework
*and when we can't stand to be awake one second longer, bed.  


So needless to say...we have had less and less time to write meaningful blog posts.  But today's post is about food, which is meaningful to me!  Only because I made this recipe up, all by myself:)  And it turned out GOOOOOOOOD.  If you are brave and semi-like bell peppers, you really need to make this today if at all possible.

The Ultimate Stuffed Peppers

Peppers:

4 Big Bell Peppers, any color you like

Cut off the tops and clean out the insides - seeds and all

To make the peppers stand up by themselves, barely cut the bottoms off (don't cut into the hollow part of the pepper)

Boil peppers in water and 2 Tablespoons olive oil for 5 minutes

Filling:

1 package dirty rice (make as directed on package)

Saute in olive oil: 

Green onions (as much as you like)

Half an Onion

Two Tomatoes

Add:

can of corn

can of black beans

cook dirty rice

half can of tomato sauce

garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper

(stir and heat through)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Place boiled peppers in a 13x9 baking dish

Fill each pepper to the top

Top with cheese if desired

Bake for 20-25 minutes!

(You'll probably have leftovers, but we used them for tacos the next night and it was almost as delicious)
