Peppers Stuffed w/Flavor not Fat

What an interesting week… i was invited to meet with a great culinary retailer to brainstorm ideas. i also had to undergo an EEG this week, so “Brainstorming” was somewhere between Ironic and just plain Humorous! If you’re wondering, i do have a brain & it seems to be operating, just fine! (There goes all the excuses i was going to use- Haaa) I know you will be “shocked” but i got that same ‘ol prescription: shed some stress. CVS said they didn’t fill those, so i headed for the kitchen.        

Thursday on the Entertainment & Opinion TV Show i host, the Indigo Girl’s Amy Ray stopped in for an interview and to play a couple of songs. i don’t think the Doctor ordered her there, but an Angel may have. It’s some of the very music I listen to… to chill… to become “closer to fine”. In fact, one of the IG songs is a great reminder to RE Focus your energy, “…learn how to starve the emptiness and  feed the hunger”.

This entry is about a simpler time, but with the style of today. i hope it inspires you to take a second look at some of Mom’s Old Standbys. Every Mom out there has had to open a pantry and make magic happen. The key is to have fun with it and not give up when it just simply did not work. This is a recipe for “Turkey Meatloaf” but i openly encourage you to play with the products & herbs you have. Turkey is a great low fat alternative to the greasy bricks of meat you may have had in the past. PLEASE look for hormone/antibiotic free meat (don’t know why? Start googling!!!) i simply put the peppers on the outside rather than chopped in the filling and don’t be too snobby as to put some ketchup on top. DO… look for ketchup w/out corn syrup. (might need that google box again… see how much quicker cancers feed off the more processed sugars).

About kimberly kelly

I have been in media my whole life, a decade of Morning Radio Shows & a decade of Hosting Television Shows both cable & affiliate. Food is a passion & after sharing this BLOG with viewers... it kinda' grew a life of it's own. Nothing fancy t's just me - sharing what generation(s) in my family & friends & those in travels along the way shared. Food is an expression of ones self and a humble offering to loved ones. One of the best expressions of love. You get "One Trip"... skimp on the material things in life, food is your lifeline though -never skimp on your food! Food can be a positive affect on your health, but also the power to make one feel love. I hope I can show you some of both. Growing & cooking outdoors, is a reminder where our food should come... the ground & not just a shelf.

    This is just what I need. Saturday I bought some of the colored bell peppers that Ingles had on sale last week and I’ve been looking for a good stuffed peppers recipe. Now I have one. Thanks for sharing this. Love your recipes and cooking videos even though I’m not a good cook.

    I tried this and they turned out good. They all looked good and the yellow one tasted good (the other three are in my fridge) I used a little barbecue sauce on top instead of ketchup. Thanks for posting a good easy recipe that even a not so good cook like me can use to make a tasty meal.
