Happy New Year!!! You ready to get started on those resolutions? No? Yes? Eeer, maybe? Well, I for one I'm ready to tackle them one by one. I don't know if it's just me but isn't January a pretty slow month? Or at least it feels slow, it most be the cold weather that makes it seem that way. Texas has crazy weather, so I'm hoping it will be nice and sunny anytime..eeep here's to hoping.
I may not be a big fan of the January weather but I sure love to cozily gather with friends and have some coffee and chat. January is also a good month, at least for me, to catch up on sleep. And goodness knows I need to catch up on a few zzz's. Now that I'm done with college, the notion of not staying up to study, or waking up early to go to class feels good for a change, so I'm embracing it at the moment. :)
You know what else I'm embracing? These stuffed bell peppers and homemade onion rings! I think I should have made a separate post for the onion rings, but too delicious to wait til then. But I will don't worry. I am currently loving cooking with lots of grains and vegetables :)
I encourage you that this new year you should take on a challenge (or maybe you like a challenge, eh?). Make 2013 the year you take control of a healthy lifestyle and wonderful changes in your life!
Ground Beef Stuffed Bell Peppers
Ingredients
- 1 tray of fresh ground beef
- 1/2 cup of peas
- 1/2 cup of chopped potato
- 1 large bell pepper
- cheese (your pick, I used both Monterrey and Cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon corn
- 1 tablespoon rice (if you have some around, if not hey add another veggie or hummus)
- a pinch of ground pepper flakes
Directions
 In a medium frying pan at medium heat, pour about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add your fresh ground beef and stir, then add the potato and lastly the peas. Once the beef is done, preheat your oven to 325F and then wash your bell pepper and carefully cut the top part, and seed it, then pour some water inside to make sure all seeds are gone. Dry the inside of the pepper lightly and then add the beef, corn, rice, pepper flakes and cheese! Place your pepper(s) in the oven and bake for 5-8 minutes.
Homemade Onion Rings

- 1 medium sweet onion, quartered crosswise and broken into rings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse
cornflakes, granola and breadcrumbs until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a
medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk,
flour, and papprika and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Dip onion rings in egg mixture and then in the cornflake mixture; place them on a large plate. Cover your baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the olive oil on the baking sheet. Place in baking sheet in the oven and heat for 2 minutes. Remove sheet from
oven and tilt to coat evenly with more olive oil (may need more than 2 tablespoons). Arrange the onion rings on the sheet and bake, turning once, until onion rings are golden brown, bake for 15
minutes.Â
