Meatless Monday's ???

It all started with this....beautiful fresh veggies....and the fact that I've been on an "I'm tired of meat" kick lately.

Which is odd for me.

Usually I'm a proteinaholic

But ...I think it's always a great idea to TRY NEW THINGS!!

((That's what I preach to my kids anyway😂😂))

So tonight we tried something NEW!!

Meatless Monday!!

I made crockpot stuffed peppers tonight 

And in the spirit of "a change up"...

I went for a MEXICAN flair rather than my usual Italian peppers!!

The kids devoured them all the same!!

They didn't even notice the mushrooms!!!

(Mushrooms done right gives meals a meaty texture without being obvious)

So here it is....

Mexican Meatless Stuffed Peppers

7 bell peppers washed and cored 

1 pouch organic rice/quinoa  (seeds of change from Costco ) 

***or 2 cups pre cooked brown rice **

1 can organic unsalted black beans

10 baby portobello mushrooms finely chopped

1 1/2 cups organic fresh salsa 

1 small bunch of cilantro chopped 

1 tbsp garlic powder 

1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese (can be Ommited) 

Mix it all together !!

Stuff peppers!!!

Cook in crock pot on high for 4 hours!!

Serve with guacamole, plain Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) and a sprinkle of shredded cheese!! 

So delicious!! 

Meatless Monday for the WIN!!

Best Zucchini EVER

I ended up growing some mega MONSTER zucchini in my garden this year!!!

I've put it in sauces, soups,

Roasted it, made it into noodles...

But this is by FAR my favorite way to eat it!!!

Grilled!!!  

Seriously.... just slice 

Add some Cajun seasoning....

And....GRILL on the BBQ!!!

Seriously!! I could eat these every day!!

My poor husband is gonna have to fire up the grill every night untill I run out of Zucchini !! 

Having a garden has been the most FUN and DELICIOUS blessing!!!!
