My NEW Favorite Recipe

My earlier declaration hasn't changed: I STILL don't cook.

But I do eat, and that means finding (healthy) things that are tasty, easy and require little or no kitchen skills. When I find one I like, I feel compelled to post it here. No special reason...

So here is my newest creation...it's a recipe I "stole" from a Weight Watcher's cookbook, then modified to make it my own. Todd and I both love it--that seals its fate as a "keeper" in our kitchen.


Fast, Easy and Delicious
SASSY STUFFED PEPPERS
(adapted from "Sassy Meatloaf" in WW Quick & Easy)

1 lb. ground turkey breast (healthier than ground turkey)
1 c. carrots pulverized in the CuisinArt
1 c. mushrooms pulverized
1 c. medium salsa
1 c. oatmeal (I found some high fiber stuff at Trader Joe's)

Combine all ingredients, divide and stuff into cleaned-out peppers. I buy a three pack of red-orange-yellow peppers. This recipe makes enough to stuff six peppers.

Now...here's the best part. Put each pepper in its own zipper storage bag and freeze.

Come home from a long day of work and pop a couple out of the freezer. Bake at 350 for about an hour.

Serve with brown rice and add more salsa as a condiment. Yummy and easy!!



Jerry Seinfeld's wife made a fortune writing a cookbook about "hiding" vegetables and other healthy stuff in food so your kids will eat it. Todd may not be completely on to the fact that I'm sneaking these veggies into his dinner. Let's try to keep it that way!


Bon Apetit!
