How to Make Healthy Stuffed Peppers

I received this recipe from a friend and wanted to share it with those in my current challenge group and other looking for healthy summer recipes. I haven't tried it myself but will likely include it on my meal plan next week!! What about you...will you try this one?!?



Ingredients

20 ounces Ground Turkey Burger (I buy 99% Fat Free)
6 Large Peppers – makes 12 servings (some might eat 2 halves)
Pint of Cherry tomatoes
Pint of fresh mushrooms
Half a jar of tomato sauce or jar of salsa
Corn – optional
Black Beans- Optional
Spinach – chopped and cooked in with burger
*Use whatever you have fresh in the fridge and pantry.


Cooking Instructions:

While Turkey Burger is cooking on stove top in skillet, prep the rest...
3 large Green Peppers
3 mix red, yellow and orange peppers (1 of each)
*Cut them in half and clean out. So they are like small bowls.
Heat in microwave 2 bags of 90 second Uncle Ben’s Brown rice.
Slice Cherry tomatoes in half
Chopped container of mushrooms
Once Turkey burger is cooked, mix in tomatoes and mushrooms and rice and cook for 5 more minutes with your choice of tomato sauce with salt and pepper or a jar of Salsa.
Scoop Mixture into Peppers.
Sprinkle with TSP of Low Fat Taco cheese.

This can be prepped the night before and have stuffed peppers in baking dishes ready to bake.
When ready to cook – bake at 375 degree for 30-40 minutes (until peppers are soft and burger starts to brown on top)

Enjoy!

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule.  The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls.  By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom.  Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago.  Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week.  My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked he...

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies.  I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good.  Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in.  My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option!  The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients:  1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make:  Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold.

3 Day Refresh Review...

I decided to take Beachbody's 3 Day Refresh with a goal to lose a few more pounds, eliminate diet soda, and learn about the program, so I couldshare with others. For over a year, I considered the 3 DayRefresh and feared that I couldn't follow the meal plan because it doesn't have meat and limited liquid choices. No caffeine didn't worry me since I went over 1 1/2 years without caffeine...twice (when I was pregnant & nursing my girls)!! However, giving up all diet soda and meat is something VERY difficult for me.  I have been following the 21 Day Fix meal plan for the past year and love it because it allows me to eat 5-6 times a day with very few limitations.  However, I decided it was time for me to take the challenge and grow with the 3 Day Refresh.   Here is a little info and intro to the 3 Day Refresh... This is an overview of the meal plan for the 3 Day Refresh.... Prepping for the 3 Day Refresh:  Prior to beginni...
