Fab Friday Tip # 3

Healthy: Be conscious about your food intake. If you truly want to understand where the majority of your foods comes from, and how it is processed I suggest you watch this movie: FOOD INC. It will really give you a deeper understanding about the products that you are consuming daily. To be able to live a lifetime, you must begin with the proper treatment of your body. You only have one, so take care of it.

Happy: Enjoy a cup of hot coffee (or any hot drink of your choice) on a cold, rainy, gloomy or snowy day. Its something about drinking a hot beverage on cold muggy day bringing the instant sensation  of "Ahhhh" and a state of relaxation to the mind and body.

Positivity: Write a letter to yourself detailing all the things that make you one of kind. Include things in it that you like about yourself, and why you love yourself. Self growth begins with self love. Save this letter for those tough days when you're feeling down. Reading positive words written out about yourself will help you to visualize of the person you really are, and invoke a sense of appreciation within. The key here to really focus on positive thinking. Do you know you are one of a kind. Limited Edition, of course!

Recipe: Stuffed Peppers

Here is a simple, quick, and easy recipe for stuffed green peppers. I originally found the idea on Pinterest, but I put my own twist to it. This is a vegetarian recipe.

Here is what you'll need for two stuffed green peppers.

2 Green Peppers (with 4 points on the bottom so they'll stand up easier)
1 cup Rice (Use brown or white)
1 cup Onion
Handful of Cilantro (optional)
4 Green Onions chopped
1 cup Green Peppers
1 garlic clove (or garlic powder)
Parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper

*You can season this anyway you'd like. I added Fiesta Lime seasoning, Crushed Red Peppers, Garlic Powder, and a Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

Cut, open, and clean out the green peppers, and preheat your oven to 375*F/190*C.

First cook the rice either on the stove top or rice cooker. Next in a medium hot pan add 2 teaspoon of olive oil. To this add the green peppers, onions, and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes. Next add your green onions and cilantro. Season the mixture now with any kind of seasoning you prefer. Add salt and pepper. Now add in the cooked rice, and stir into the mixture. The last step is to add the Parmesan cheese. Mix it in and let the mixture cook for about 2 minutes. 

Now stuff your mixture into the green peppers, and place it in the oven for 30 minutes. Add cheese of your choice: Mozzarella, Colby Jack, or Pepper Jack. Sprinkle a generous amount on top. Put it back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. 

Pull out of the oven. Serve Warm. Enjoy! 

Aspire to Inspire #1

Inspiration of the week roundup. This is something new I have decided to add to the blog, at the end of each week (Saturday) I will post "stuff" I found to be inspirational that would be worth sharing. This is just a way to keep inspiring myself, and you!

Video:

I've been visiting a website called wimp somewhat daily for the past year. When I have nothing to do, and when I can remember I will visit the website to watch videos for about 30 minutes straight (I'm not exagerating, you will get hooked). This past week I watched this video. My reaction? I was very thoroughly surprised!

P.S. I bet your reaction will be jaw dropping :)
