Men's Hearts Shall Fail Them

This Mormon message is a little intense but I love the overall lesson of living by faith. It is so easy to live by fear with how the world is going these days. This morning Tanner and I joked about the days we will be sending our kids off to school. "Here's your lunch and your bulletproof vest, good luck honey! We love you!"

I know that when I live by faith and trust in the Lord's love and hand in our lives, I feel peace. That no matter how many extra bills we have to pay, how many hospital visits we have, how close our bank account comes to empty, the Lord will always provide. I know that. Do I remember all the time? That is something I am working on. Tanner often reminds me that we are not poor, we are actually really rich. We have the love of the gospel, promises from the Lord for living it and so much Love in our little home that we don't know quite what to do with it all. My goal and motto is to "Live by Faith".

What's for dinner?

I got this recipe from Pinterest! It should be tasty! Tanner and I will probably half it seeing as we probably wont eat 6 servings.

These stuffed peppers are loaded with flavor and make a great dinner with a salad on the side. Not all stuffed peppers are cooked in tomato sauce. I used ground lean turkey and rice for a healthy, low point meal. Also great with brown rice. Make extra so you can have leftovers for lunch.

• 1 lb lean chopped turkey meat
• 1 garlic, minced
• 1/4 onion, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• salt to taste
• 3 large sweet red bell peppers, washed
• 1 cup fat free chicken broth
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
• Olive oil spray
• 1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheese
  

Heat oven to 400°. Spray a little olive oil spray in a medium size saute pan and heat on a medium flame. Add onion, garlic and cilantro to the pan. Saute about 2 minutes and add ground turkey. Season with salt and garlic powder, and cumin and brown meat for several minutes until meat is completely cooked through. Add 1/4 cup of tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of chicken broth, mix well and simmer on low for about 5 minutes. Combine cooked rice and meat together.

Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, and remove all seeds. Place in a baking dish. Spoon the meat mixture into each pepper half and fill it with as much as you can. Place all stuffed pepper halves on the baking dish and pour the remainder of the chicken broth on the bottom of the pan. Cover tight with aluminum foil and bake for about 35 minutes. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and enjoy.
