Stuffed Peppers
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
1 cup water
6 green bell peppers
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef and chopped onion until evenly browned. Drain.
2. Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
3. In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, onion, 1 can tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
4. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 medium onion
1 can of crushed tomatoes
I also put about a half inch of water in the pan so the peppers wouldn't stick.

Monday Motivation: Comfort Zone
My Comfort Zone - A Poem
Author Unknown
I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.
I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.
I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.
I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.
If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!

You are not a victim of your thoughts.
You have a vote. You have a voice.
You can excercise through prevention.
You can also excercise thought permission.

Shot of the Week
It's the W-E-E-K-E-N-D! We made it!
I had the opportunity to take my sisters Senior pictures this week, which was an amazing experience. I am truly amazed how this beautiful, smart talented person- was once a little girl who used to follow me around hanging on my heels. My sister has grown up to be fine a young lady. Time fiies! Enough of my babbling; I feel the tears forming. Check out my shot of the week.
