I found this recipe on this great blog I just started following, called "Peace, Love, and Low Carb". I LOVE stuffed peppers, but I usually make mine with rice -- this is a really easy recipe that looks absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to try it!
Ingredients:
8 oz. thinly sliced roast beef
8 slices provolone cheese
2 large green bell peppers (Or your favorite variety)
1 medium onion
8 oz. baby bella mushrooms
2 TBS butter
2 TBS olive oil
1 TBS minced garlic
To Make:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Slice peppers in half lengthwise, remove all seeds and "ribs"
Slice onions and mushrooms. Saute over medium heat with butter, oil oil, garlic, (and salt and pepper if you like) until caramelized.
Slice roast beef into strips and add to onion/mushroom mixture. Keep over flame for 5 minutes to allow flavors to marry.
Line the inside of each pepper half with a slice of provolone cheese
Fill each pepper half with meat/mushroom/onion mixture
Cover each pepper with second slice of provolone
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the slice of cheese on top has cooked to a golden brown.
Hi Guys, I wanted to share this amazing new workout my friend Brittany showed me this past weekend. It's called Trail Running. Essentially, you go hiking on a trail in a park or nature preserve, but run during the flatter parts of the trail. Does it sound intimidating? Yes. Is it also invigorating and easier than you think it is? Yes. Here's why. The object of trail running is NOT to break your neck. So, rough terrain forces you to slow down and walk for stretches of the trail. Now, in street running, walking usually means a significant decrease in heart rate and difficulty, but trail running, you're still hiking -- so you're still pushing yourself to burn those calories in an intense workout. The other good thing about trail running is that you're not focusing on the pain. Most beginning runners, myself included, have issues getting past a certain point because they hit a mental block that is hard to push past. On the trails, you must focus on your feet -- and watch out for rocks and roots -- so that you almost don't notice the time passing or the exertion. Brittany and I did an hour and a half trail run. According to our heart rate monitors, I burned 1000 calories, while she burned 1100. Can you beat our records? See below for a short video for tips on how to get started.
