Stuffed Bell Peppers

A few weeks ago I made these stuffed bell peppers and they were amazing! The husband and I couldn’t get enough. Plus, they were super easy to make and are healthy. And despite my crummy iphone photo, they look quite impressive too! So, I thought I’d share the recipe with all of you. 
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 6 large bell peppers
– 1 lb lean ground turkey
– 1 cup cooked brown rice
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp garlic salt
– 15 oz canned tomato sauce
– 1/2 cup chopped onion
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used skim)
Directions
– Cut off the top of the peppers, clean out the seeds and wash them really well.
– Cook peppers in boiling salt water for 5 minutes, then drain.
– Cook the turkey and onion until onion is tender. Drain off any fat. 
– Stir in salt, garlic salt, cooked rice, and 1 1/2 cups of the tomato sauce. Heat through.
– Stuff each pepper with the meat mixture.
– Stand peppers upright in a baking dish.
– Pour remaining tomato sauce over the peppers.
– Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes covered, then uncover and top peppers with shredded mozzarella and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes
– Enjoy! I served ours with yummy cornbread.

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
