2 Dinners, 4 Dresses, and 1 Romper!

Hey guys!  Hope everyone is having a great Monday!  I have one kiddo at school, and 2 asleep...woohoo!  SO I thought I would share 2 recipes that I tried out last week that were Amaze, and some super cute summer gear I'm eyeing!!

I have said before that I love my friend Amy's blog, her recipes are all so good, and paleo, I haven't found one that I don't like!  I decided on the Smokey Southwest Chili....it was the bomb!!  Everyone loved it except for my middle child, and he never likes anything!!  He is my picky guy and I have to bribe him to eat, yes I'm admitting to bribing my child!  Anyways...this is a different spin on typical chili, try it out!!  http://denimanddots.com/2012/03/21/thick-smokey-southwest-chili/.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 Last night I had no clue what I wanted to make for dinner, I had some thawed grass fed ground beef, and some peppers, so I googled healthy stuffed peppers and read a few recipes, and just kinda did my own thing from there!  SO here's what I did:

Boil a big pot of water and put your peppers in the boiling water for 1 minute, and then run under cold water.  I halved my peppers and I also had some little ones that I diced.  Have the oven set to 350.

For the stuffing:

put olive oil in skillet, and some minced garlic(I would have loved to do onions as well, but my guys don't like them:)), add your ground beef and cook through.  Meanwhile I made quinoa and followed instructions for that.  I then took the beef and added about 2 cups quinoa, or just add to whatever consistency that you like....then I did 1 cup of tomato sauce, and about a cup of mozzarella.  I seasoned with salt and pepper and parsley.  Mix and then fill peppers, top each pepper with 1Tb. of tomato sauce, and a little cheese.  I took my remaining mixture and mixed with my small peppers and made a casserole.  I put everything in the over for 30 minutes, and it came out bubbly and delicious!  Everyone loved this, again I had to bribe my 4 year old, but he did like it when he tried it!  My other two had seconds!  Super easy, win!!

Ok so most of you know that I earned a trip to Cancun with my Beachbody business...So I have been scoping out some things that I want to wear for my man!  If you know me, you know that I love dresses, so here are some of my faves!!

These you can find these on www.shopriffraff.com.  Love them all!!  I love buying pieces that can be worn casual or dressy, and that you can mix and match with different things!  SO fun!!  Here's the romper that I am in love with!
