Let Your Slow Cooker Make Dinner For You Today!

Funny how you remember these random details from your childhood. I’ve noticed my memories often have something to do with food – either the everyday meals we had, or the special treats that we didn’t get often. I’m not sure which category would be better for stuffed bell peppers (probably neither), but I remember us having them just once. It was a regular weeknight meal, nothing fancy, but somehow it was special at least for me. I loved bell peppers and we had them all the time, but mostly just chopped and mixed into salads, or on a sandwich. For some reason that is the only time I remember Mom serving them. I guess the rest of the family didn’t enjoy it as much as I did!

Anyway, that memory immediately came back to me when I saw this recipe. But this isn’t your regular stuffed bell pepper recipe! This time it has been turned into a hearty soup – familiar flavors served in a new way. The best part is; the slow cooker is going to do all the work for you!

Quick Tip: Add some red pepper flakes if you like your food spicy!

Mexican food is my favorite. Yep, I have said it before, I will quickly betray my Cuban roots to enjoy a nice big plate of Mexican fajitas or a burrito. I love how the spice in it adds just the perfect amount of flavor and even more than that, I love preparing my own tacos. That is one of my favorite reasons for enjoying fajitas. I am able to fill up my taco with just enough of everything I like. I create the balance and the mix and the flavors. It is awesome to be in control like that.

After eating fajitas at all the restaurants known to man in my area, I knew I had to start making them at home. My only beef with it was that fajitas stink up your hair. And badly. They stink up your clothes and everything and I figured it would stink up my house, too. That is when I found this recipe for slow cooker fajitas. It makes it easy and completely clean in my house to make it. And the smell is just good enough to know I am making food without stinking up my house. That is just how I like it!

So Bright, So Light, So Delicious!

I love Mediterranean food. For example, most of the Greek dishes are very healthy, with fresh, pure and lean ingredients. Not to mention they are absolutely delicious! These stuffed bell peppers always remind me of my trip to one of the Greek islands, and I love the fact that I can now make something very similar right at home.

Although this recipe originally called for green bell peppers, you can use any color you prefer. When I’m making these for a larger crowd, I usually buy red, yellow and orange bell peppers as well. They look so pretty together, with all those bright colors!

This recipe is also perfect for anyone who wants to eat a little lighter. Choose lean ground beef or ground turkey, as well as whole grain brown rice. You can also use reduced fat cheese to cut down on those calories. These will still be delicious!

Quick Tip: Add some red pepper flakes to the rice/meat mixture for a bit of a kick!

I’m a huge fan of easy-to-make soups that can be stored for days and will make my life so much easier. I’m even more excited if I can make a soup that is said to burn fat while I’m eating it! Whatever the actual scientific studies say about this cabbage soup, it is definitely healthy for you. But most importantly, it’s so delicious that you don’t even think of it as health food. Lately, I’ve noticed most of my favorite soup recipes have a creamy base.

After all the heavy meals I’ve had during Christmas, I just wanted to go with something lighter. This awesome soup has a tomato base, which is way less fat than any of the creamy chicken soups I’ve made. What I love most is how versatile this recipe is! You can easily adjust it to make it just the way you like it.

I this soup to be quite filling, which is a good thing because then I’m not hungry again an hour later and rummaging through the refrigerator. You’ll really enjoy this yummy recipe 🙂

Quick Tip: Make sure to bake this dish uncovered for a browned, slightly crisped top.

There are many recipes out there that are known for their comforting character and gut-warming essence. Green pepper steak is one of them. Tender, juicy steak smothered in green peppers and onions laying atop a bed of white rice? Yes, please!

This type of food takes me back to my childhood on my grandmother’s farm. She would always cook things like cabbage rolls, green peppers and steak, and pierogies. It must be the German is our family, because these meals were staples at the dinner table. This is a great dish to whip up on a midweek day for a little tummy tender loving care.
