This weekend was nice. We didn’t have anything scheduled for once in a long time. So we took care of a few things, did all the laundry, did the dishes, went grocery shopping. You know the usual, normal domestic things. Not remodeling a house, not writing up leases, not going to various events and activities.

After that we even had time to cook a nice meal! We made stuffed bell peppers with things like tomatoes, basil, peppers from our garden. We don’t use a recipe, but just by heart here’s how we make them.

The finished result

Cook some ground beef/turkey (about a lb)
Boil your bell peppers until soft
Cook some rice
Add some tomatoes (I also put a can of diced tomatoes and some tomato paste), spicy peppers, cut up bell peppers, garlic, fresh basil, italian seasoning, salt, pepper, turmeric, etc to the beef mixture.
Add in the rice
Shred some cheese into the warm mixture

Fill the bell peppers with the mixture.

Place in the oven for about 20 minutes on 350 degrees with foil over top.
Add some more shredded cheese to the top for extra yumminess when they come out.
You can put the bell pepper tops on for a decorative effect, if you want.

It’s one of our favorites, if a little time consuming.

We also went for a couple walks and a bike ride. It was a great, relaxing weekend.

We stopped and took a walk through UNC’s campus
