Proper Way to Eat a Pepper

Good evening!  I hope you have had a lovely Tuesday

For some reason, Tuesdays have been especially hard for me this month.  I’m rearing and ready to go on Mondays, and then I crash by the time Tuesday rolls around.  Oh, well!  After I type this baby up, it’s off to bed for me!

I started today off with some Peanut Butter Chocolate Oats.  Hard to start the day off on a bad foot when you have PBO’s for breakfast!

• 1/3 cup oats
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 banana
• 1 scoop chocolate protein
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds
• 1 Tbsp peanut butter

Mix it all together.  Nuke for 2 minutos.  Eat.  Smile   Delish!

 At lunch I ate an unpictured vegetarian beef burrito with a side of Chobani’s Pomegranate Greek yogurt (I know…  kind of a weird combo!)

I have been wanting to try this brand of Greek yogurt for a while after reading that it is all natural and contains twice the amount of protein as regular yogurt.  Martin’s had them on sale last Friday for 10/$10.  Perfect!

To get

I simply took the mixture from vegetarian halupkies, sliced off the caps of 3 large green peppers, scooped out the seeds, and filled them with the veggie-bulgar mixture.  I then sprayed the green pepper shells with EVOO and baked the stuffed peppers for about 15-20 minutes at 450 degrees until I could easily poke a fork through the side.

And viola!  A simple, nutritious, and delicious Tuesday evening dinner.

Well, simple until it was time to devour.  Larry and I debated the proper way to eat a pepper.

Larry went for the four way cross cut pepper pickin’.

I opted for the bi-cut smushed down method.
