Yesterday I was home with a migraine. I was lying on the couch, just feeling kind of icky overall. At one point I reached over to scratch my arm and was freaked out because I felt something hard. I panicked, thinking I had a tumor or a strange cyst. Then it hit me.
It was a muscle.
I mean, who knew I had those in my arms?
True story.
I’m really loving my produce basket. Wednesday night I made stuffed peppers. They were YUMMY. And thanks to my friend Dinah, last night I tried some grilled romaine lettuce. Definitely a new staple. But for now, here’s my stuffed peppers recipe.
Ingredients
6 large green peppers
1 lb ground turkey (I used super lean ground beef. I’m not a fan of ground turkey.)
2 tbsp chopped onion
1 cup cooked rice
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic salt
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Cut thin slice from stem of each pepper; remove guts and rinse.
- Cook peppers 5 minutes in enough boiling water to cover, drain.
- Cook and stir onion and turkey in skillet until beef is light brown; drain.
- Stir in rice, salt, garlic salt and 1 cup tomato sauce; heat through.
- Stuff each pepper with beef mixture; stand upright in greased 8x8x12 baking dish.
- Pour remaining sauce over peppers.
- Cover and bake 45 minutes.
- Uncover, bake 15 minutes longer.

this sounds so yummy! and you better share more about grilled romaine (?!). idea: sometimes IF i'm feeling ambitious, i'll think about a way to substitute fresh and/or whole food in place of a packaged recipe item. For example, chopped tomato and minced garlic would cut down on preservatives and sodium and taste fresher
...but soemtimes there's something about that salty convenience that trumps :)
thanks for sharing the recipe. i'm going to try it out when my first fruit and veg basket arrives next time!
