Mexican Stuffed Peppers

These were gonna start off by being just some plain old cheese filled pasilla peppers, but since there was some brown rice that needed finishing up in the fridge, some fresh cilantro and a mini jar of pimentos in the closet, I could not resist!

I also added some cooked lentils to the rice to give the meal some more protein (besides the chicken that I cooked separately). I also added some cremini mushrooms for me, filled with a tomatillo salsa. Baked the whole thing in the oven at 375 for about 30 minutes. Just at the end, I added the Mexican blended shredded cheese and put back in the oven to melt.

YUMMY!

Friday Night Lights out

After watching 76 amazing episodes, I am finally done watching Friday Night Lights. 

This series has A) taught me about football in a way the husband had never been able to...

 Ok, Taylor Kitsch really helped me (there I said it)

B) Showed me a nice example of what a "healthish" marriage could look like, or what I would want MINE to resemble but as always, there is room for improvement.

C) Prepared me for my upcoming trip to Austin!  WOO HOO. Bring on the big hair, country music and cowboy boots! 

This series is available to stream off of Netflix. I really recommend it. It came HIGHLY recommended, and I too in turn, highly recommend it.

Carrot Pulp

Not only did I get a jar full of carrot juice, but I was also gifted with the pulp of the carrots and beetroots! I wasn't sure what I would do with the pulp, but I had a few ideas!

The next night, I decided to make a soup with some beans and veg that I wanted to get rid of, and as I was pulling things out of the fridge, I grabbed the carrots and dumped them in along with the sauteed onions and garlic! It ended up becoming a carrot soup and it was much better than I expected.

So, note to self... nothing needs to go to waste when juicing!
