Something a little bit different...

I've been making a real push to cook more at home...some of it is financial reasons, but mostly for fun!!! I hate when I'm trying to figure out what to make for dinner and I ask my hubby what he would like and his reply is "just cook something." I mean in a way, that's nice, it means I can make whatever I want, but in the same sense, I wouldn't ask him what I should make, if I knew....so before I went to the grocery store this past Sunday, I really looked in my cabinets, fridge and freezer...I clipped and printed my coupons and set out for the grocery store. I've always like to cook, but I'm an extremely picky eater, so cooking for me, can be somewhat boring, cooking for the hubby however, offers more opportunity to try new things...they don't have to be hard to cook things, just looking for something different and fun, a new spin on dinner if you will...so Monday, I tried my hand at making stuffed peppers. Daniel really liked them! :)


So instead of cutting the top off of the pepper, I had checked out a few things on pinterest and liked the idea of cutting into the side...so I started some mexican style rice and cut and scooped the first pepper...

Not too bad considering I've never done this before!!
 Yay!! :) Ready to go!
 I had peppers that were big enough to use the "tops" also, so I did! I stuffed them with mexican style rice, some left over steak from eating out the other night, tomato, and onion...
 ...then topped it off with some hot pepper cheese...
 I saved the seeds because we're doing a lot of gardening this year, and why not save some seeds for free!!
 I put them in the oven and waited for the cheese to melt...
Daniel really liked them, but couldn't eat both of them, so we did save them, he ate the rest as leftovers the next day and said even reheated they were pretty good! Yay!

I like when I try something new like this and it really works out...this is going to be in our dinner food rotation...tonight I'm making steak! :)

I've also been working on a new boy's scrap blanket...actually I finished it last night, but I don't have a pic of it completed yet...







I've also started making granny square covers for my kitchen chairs! Only have one done so far, but hey, it's a work in progress!!!





Much Love.
