Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Greek Stuffed Peppers Prep and More




These are in the oven now!  I have a play date this evening for the kids and wanted to get dinner pretty much done before we leave.  They smell great!
I did make a few changes.  I used three bell peppers, cut them in half and stuffed each half.  There was some of the mix leftover.  I also got a great idea.  I will try this mixture cold and if it's tasty, I could stuff a pepper or tomato and serve it as a fancy salad.
Nutritionals the way I made them (WITHOUT pine nuts, have you seen the price of those lately?):
Total= This is for one of the six pepper halves. 
6.83g fat, 43.5g carbs, 2g fiber, 8.2g protein.  This works to 7 WW points.
Okay, these are out of the oven now.  The house smells great.  While cleaning up, I tasted the mixture for the peppers and it would definitely make a yummy salad stuffed into a pepper or tomato.
