Stuffed Red Peppers

Dear Readers,

As I was trying to figure out what to do with some leftover rice and vegetables, I found the most beautiful red peppers in the grocery store. So, I made stuffed peppers.

Rice and steamed vegetable mixed to taste
Salt and Pepper
Roasted tomato seasoning
cheese

I cut off the tops of the peppers and cleaned them out. I then mixed the veggies and rice and filled the peppers. After topping with spices and cheese, I baked them slowly at 325 until done.

Bon Appetit!

Beef Stew

Dear Readers,

In the cold January days, what could be better than a hearty beef stew to warm up!

2 pounds browned steak, thick cut
6 carrots peeled and chopped
2 large onions
4-5 stalks celery
pepper + sea salt to taste
fresh green beans-if desired
Garlic to taste
Fresh chopped parsley to taste
red wine

I first added the onions in the bottom layer of the crock pot.
Then, I covered them with red wine and set the browned steak on top of the onions.
After cooking on high for 1 1/2 hours, I added the other ingredients and water or broth to taste and then cooked another 1-2 hours on high.

I spiced with a little roasted red pepper mix.
Of course you could use any other variation of veggies such as peppers or potatoes.

Bon Appetit!
