Stuffed Pepper Soup and a treat...

By


I made this the other night and it was pretty good. :)  I tweaked it a little, but here is the recipe. It's naturally gluten free.  Enjoy!

3 bell peppers chopped
1/2 c onion
2 tomatoes chopped
1 15oz can tomato sauce
1 can black beans drained
1 T brown sugar
3 t italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
(I added some creole seasoning to mine along with some garlic powder)
2 c water
1 c cooked rice

Combine all ingredients except rice to slow cooker and cook 4 hours on high or 8 on low.  When does stir in cooked rice and heat through. :)


The picture is a little blurry, but I'm sure you can feast your eyes upon my treat. :)  I absolutely LOVE chocolate, but only if it's good chocolate.  No Palmer's chocolate Easter bunnies for me....yuck!  This tasted wonderful and I love the dark chocolate (my fave).  If you are in need of a treat, I highly suggest you try this.  I love the sea salt that is scattered throughout.  It really brings out the chocolate flavor. YUM!

Slowwww downnnn....

January is here and it's a time of a slower paced life for us. These last couple months have been a whirlwind...I enjoyed them a lot , but my nature is for a more slower paced, simple life. When I say slower paced I mean staying home, relaxing, puttering around the house, trying new recipes, making cheese, making good wholesome warm meals, chatting with friends and family (love facebook :)), thinking about what to plant this year, etc. When I say simple, that doesn't mean easy...it's getting wood gathered for the woodstove, cleaning the chicken coop, making cheese, etc. Simple is no overindulgence, no fancy meals with weird ingredients, using what you have, saving for what you don't, not being too busy for the Lord, and no hustle and bustle. Just enjoying life and taking it in and not letting it whiz by. It's loving others deeply and growing closer to them. God has created in me an old fashioned personality and I am really glad for it. :) I am very content. :)...

Living with Myasthenia Gravis...

By
Now I didn't title this post "Coping with Myasthenia Graivs " or "Dealing with Myasthenia Gravis ". I titled it "LIVING with Myasthenia Gravis " for a reason. This is an illness that I have and I live with everyday. I was diagnosed shortly after Hunter was born. Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by varying degrees of weakness of the skeletal (voluntary) muscles of the body. The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Certain muscles such as those that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, chewing, talking, and swallowing are often, but not always, involved in the disorder. The muscles that control breathing and neck and limb movements may also be affected. ( Also, they found in a handful of people, the cardiac muscle can be affected. I'm in that handful.) ...
