Yummy dinner

I had a bunch of vegetables that I needed to use so I decided to make stuffed peppers. They were easy, healthy and tasted excellent. Here's the recipe.

Stuffed Red Peppers
4 Red bell peppers
1 lb ground turkey
2 Tbsp olive oil
tsp of minced garlic
basil, oregano, salt pepper, red pepper flakes to taste
1/2 onion, chopped
1 c. sliced mushrooms
1 zucchini, chopped
1 c. fresh spinach
2 c. cooked brown rice
2 small cans of tomato sauce
1 tomato, diced
1/3 c. feta cheese

In a skillet, cook the turkey. Add olive oil, seasonings and onion. Cook for a few minutes to soften the onion. Then add mushrooms, zucchini, spinach until vegetables are tender. Mix in cooked rice, one can of tomato sauce, the tomato and feta. Stuff the peppers with the mixture.

Pour last can of tomato sauce into a baking dish. Place stuffed peppers on top. Bake at 350 degress for 40-45 minutes.

On a side note...I was trying to get some stuff done tonight and Katelyn wanted me to read to her. So I told her "Mommy has to finish what she's doing, you can look at your books." So she took her book, sat down on the floor by the couch, wiggled to get comfy and use the couch as a back rest and started looking through her book. It was her sweetest moment of the whole day....and she has lots of them in any given 24 hour stretch!
