Stuffed Peppers and Anniversaries~

 Yesterday (June 4th) my parents celebrated 44 years of marriage. Happy Anniversary to the most amazing couple, thank you for always being our best life coaches. You have given us the gift of friendship but continue to support and encourage us as great parents do. We love you both so very much~

 

Last week I tried a new recipe, I just got it off of Kraft Canada. Stuffed Peppers..and we really liked them. As you may know I am trying to incorporate new "vegetable" recipes into our menu here at home. I'd like to remove more of our meat intake, i'd love to get rid of pork completely. Its going to take time, but I hope to accomplish that.

So with that said...if I could change this recipe i'd add pork...lol....honestly it was good, but kinda bland. I followed the recipe and did not make it my own. So next time I may add sausage, or beef or if I feel brave enough i'll just play around with my seasonings.

Overall, the whole family enjoyed it. I left you with some pictures and directions..feel free to give this one a try ;) Make it your own though~

Prepare 2 cups rice according to package directions and combine with 1 can (28 oz) drained, diced tomatoes, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 chopped onion and 1 tsp dried rosemary

 

 

Cut off tops of 4 medium peppers, green, red or yellow and remove seeds.

Spoon rice mixture into hollowed out peppers and bake for 30 min at 375°F. Remove and place one KRAFT SINGLES Process Cheese Food Slice on top of each pepper and return to oven for an additional 3 min to melt cheese

 

 

Today is our 22nd wedding anniversary. Can you believe that? We made it...here's hoping for another 22.

I woke up this morning, and Paul has always been good at having a card for me when I wake up. I didn't see it at all...and figured oh when he gets home from work. After I made my  tea and sat down to finish this blog I opened up my laptop and found this...

He's good..he got me!!

Happy Anniversary Paul, thank you for the best life ever. I truly am blessed to have you and i'm looking forward to what the future holds for you and I. Cheers, Spark~
Love you~
