Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed peppers are a favorite and very easy to make. You can do a basic stuffed pepper or you can "jazz" it up a bit.
NEED:
This recipe is for 3 peppers.
One green pepper per person ( use big peppers ) You can use red peppers if you like.
ground beef ( about 1 to 1 1/2 cups per pepper )
onion
salt
pepper
shredded cheese
tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce
rice
Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. Rinse the peppers and set aside. Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Place the peppers in the water, return to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from water, with tongs,drain and place in a baking dish. The baking dish needs to be big enough for the peppers to sit next to each other, to hold each other up.
Brown the ground meat and drain. Add diced onion, the amount you want to add...I use about 1/2 cup. Add 1 1/2 cups of instant rice and 1 cup of shredded cheese, salt and pepper to taste and 1 1/2 cups of the tomato sauce. If it seems a bit dry, add more sauce. Stir and simmer for about 3 minutes.
With a spoon fill each pepper. Press the mixture down, lightly.
Top each pepper with some cheese and a spoon of tomato sauce.
Place in 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.
To add some flavor and veggies to the peppers go to the fridge. Have any left over veggies? Corn, peas, carrots, mushrooms..anything you want. Make sure to cut the carrots to small size and the same with the mushrooms. Add them all or add a few. It is a great way to get your family to eat more veggies and serve a wonderful, family favorite.
ENJOY!

Egg Salad
Egg salad can be a very simple sandwich or you can change it into something amazing.
NEED:
Hard boiled eggs - 2 per sandwich
salt
pepper
mayo
Place the eggs in a pot of water, enough water to cover the eggs. Bring to boil and boil for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, drain and rinse with cold water. Peel and place in a bowl.
With a knife or fork cut the eggs into small pieces.
Salt and pepper to taste. Add the mayo 2 tablespoons at a time. You want just enough to make the mixture hold together.
Place on the bread of you choice. I like to lightly toast mine.
NOW to jazz it up.
You can add bacon bits, finely shredded cheese, Cajun spice, Italian seasoning, lettuce, pickle relish, etc. Anything you want can be added to make it so much more than just an egg salad sandwich.
ENJOY!
