I was hungry for a meal I would have made my family – way long time ago. I had a bell pepper and some ground meat and an eggplant. Two out of three were healthy, so I decided to proceed. I didn’t want to use the oven and wait. I decided to try stuffed bell peppers in a deep wok pan and the eggplant in a skillet. I got those good flavors I was thinking about, but a little quicker and in a much smaller portion. When my family was all at home, I made a lot of food. It has taken me years to whittle down my portions. Some things don’t taste as good unless I make them in volume to feed five.
We didn’t eat leftovers back then. Hank didn’t like those, unless it was a ham. Later on Andy would eat leftover casseroles or anything he could put on a flour tortilla and warm up in the microwave. I eat leftover in almost any fashion. Until I get tired of it.
I still make Spicy Spaghetti Sauce and lasagna to feed an army and Vegetable Soup or Chicken Soup is down to about 5-6 servings now. Those are always good to have on hand.
This meal was good for two meals for me. Perfect, so I could get home from walking, take care of a few chores and warm up dinner before Grey’s Anatomy started. Your peppers will be tender and the rice and meat will have that good pepper flavor too.
Be sure to check out some updates from my new friends over at New Friend Friday this week.
