Oh, MY GOD! How F****N good are those stuffed peppers

I'm totally making them a staple in my diet

I changed it a bit to what I had in my kitchen:

1 green pepper
1/2 cup brown basmati rice
4 oz lean ground beef
1/4 cup onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder ( yes, I measured it )
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (measured as well )
1/2 cup salt-free tomato sauce

I mixed everything together in a pan and then stuffed it all into the pepper and baked it for 30 min. TO DIE FOR! I use a salt substitute called "No-Salt" (you can get it int he grocery store where the spices are. I didn't like it at first, but I've been using it for four years now and it tastes like salt to me) I sprinkled that all over it so it wouldn't be bland. I don't use salt because I bloat up like a pig.

Anyways, thanks again for sharing the recipe, it's nice to add some variety. Have a great day GG!

YAY!!!! I'm so glad you liked it!

Your ingredients sound good, too! Don't see the cinnamon in there though - you're missing out! trust me! It really adds that special touch!

I've thought to buy it before, but always doubt that it will be worth it and end up putting it back on the shelf. Hmmm. Somethign to think about.

Yeah I use only salt-free seasonings now. No unnecessary sodium or sugar in my diet.

No problem! Glad to have helped! Yes, they will be a regular item in my meals for a while I believe. Easy to make and are a complete meal in a little package! Can't beat that!

Hope you have a great day too!

If you buy the "No-Salt" give it a try for at least two weeks. I struggled through it the first few days and then I became to really like it. I prefer it over salt now. It's going to probably taste yucky to you at first, but you will begin to like it the more you use it. I never use salt anymore. I really do prefer this stuff

Stalker. hahahaha!

I thought I was the stalker?!?

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I'm going to wild oats today, so i'll see if i pick one up. Thanks for the tip!

Update: couldn't find any at wild oats! I did buy some toasted hazelnut oil and a tub of nat. pb*!

*I can't believe how well i've behaved with the PB. Just taking my 1 or 2 tbsp servings at a time, not dipping into it at random times of the day. I'm not even tempted to. Yay me. Somebody give me a gold star, quick!

I'm gonna be working at the setup for a conference all day today, so i'm heading out to the gym before my day gets crazy.

I forgot to factor in all the exercising I'm gonna be doing at this conference this weekend -- friday, saturday and sunday: three days full of all sorts of step/bosu/bodybar/ball/bootcamp/hip hop classes, plus some lectures on lactate threshold training, nutrition for weight training, training female clients, and a few other health-related ones.

I already paid for some of it, so I'd hate to miss out. But I'll have to take it easy.

P-funk

have fun!!

Feelings:
Overall, it was a pretty good workout. I am thinking I might switch to chest and bi and back and tri instead because after all the back exercises my biceps were fatiguing too quickly on all the curls. I don't know if switching the combinations is a good idea. but I feel inclined to try it, if it means I'll get a better workout for the bis and tris that way. I didn't have any problems with the triceps when I worked chest first the other day. Somethin' to think about I guess.

Alrighty I'm off to do some volunteer work at this conference thingy!

Have a great day, everybody!

Luke9583

I wonder if you'd be over training your CNS, giving your back/bis and tris a work out


'tri' it I guess.... haha 'tri' O boy, i'm corny

Boy, your weekend sounds packed!! Is all that stuff for work??

How have you been sweetie? How do you feel with the increased cals? Your doing super!!

What's barley? Where do I get it?

http://stephlg.proboards44.com/index.cgi#general

GoalGetter

no no, i'll be doing my back and tris one day, chest and bis another day, instead of back/bis, chest/tris. Same split, just flip the upper arm muscles around. Unless what you meant by that was that by working my back i'm working my bis and then adding tris to the mix. hahahaha in that case, i may be S.O.L. but yeah. i'm just gonna try that and see. maybe it was just today or something.i mean before, i used to do chest/back/bicep/tricep all in one workout so i don't know what gives with this issue today.

ok now i'm really almost outta here.

GoalGetter

HELLL NO! Not for work at all. This is for fun, and hopefully for my FUTURE work! The main purpose is to go learn stuff and meet fitness professionals and hope that they remember my name when i come knockin' on their doors in a few months. hahaha!

I've been good - action-packed couple of days recently at work. and yeah, working out, eating more. I'm feeling ok in general BUT: 1) bloated, 2) hungry all the time (which has been explained to me that it is normal and a good sign), 3) broke - more food=more $$$$ ARRRGHHH!

How have YOU been? Are we still on for colorado in January?! I'm totally looking forward to that! And then I think I have new york in March for another conference thing (if i can weasel my way into working at that conference, otherwise i may not be able to afford it).

Barley - it is a grain, looks kinda like valencia rice, but brownish, the kind used in spanish yellow rice with chicken. It is really called PEARLED BARLEY. i get it in bulk at Wild Oats (the whole foods store). I'm sure you can get it at Whole Foods MArket, or Trader Joe's or even at some farmer's markets if you guys have those in the winter!

Luke9583

Yeap! but when you work your back, you are *also working your bi's (since both are for pulling) I think that's why they get grouped like that. When ever I do rows, I get a great bicep pump

just got home.

worked the registration booth for 7 hours straight.

so. f*cking. tired.

delts at 5 AM tomorrow, then conference all day long.

All these cool people from new york are going out tonight, and I am staying home and being the good girl that I am, and for once, instead of hearing the same crap, "Oh come on.. just one night. You're obssessed, you need to loosen up. blah blah bullshit..." FOR ONCE, these great wonderful understanding people were like, "Oh wow, that's amazing. You are really dedicated and it shows. You go girl. That's ok. Get your rest and we'll hang out for breakfast tomorrow."

I like fitness-minded people. They're partying cause they're from out of town. This is a vacation to them. To me, it's just another weekend. I don't go out. I don't drink. And I don't give a crap if that makes people think I need to loosen up. And tonight, I'm thrilled that I don't have to not give a crap, because tonight, it was totally cool and understood that I've got some goals I'm working toward and a night out drinking and partying doesn't fit into the game plan.
