Have you ever made a particular meal and decided that you and your family like it so much that one day you realize that you are eating it just about every single day?

Day after day.

After day?

Yep, that’s what has been going on over here in the Fultz household. The bell peppers this time of year are so fresh, bright, and vibrant that it is almost as if a gallery light is positioned right on them in the produce section.“Come, come here. Pick us. Pick us.”

And so it goes. Dinner consists of a plethora of stuffed bell peppers lately. They are easy to prepare and then set in the oven for the finishing touch as we go about our summery busyness. It’s like a dear friend or family member… there when we need them.

Oftentimes we think of stuffed bell peppers as a heartier dish filled with ground beef, heavy tomato sauces, rice, or cubed potatoes. I like to make a lighter version during these hot days with ground turkey, sweet Vidalia onions, green cabbage and a shredded  Yukon gold potato.  The cabbage and onions give it a coleslaw feel, so naturally a soft white wine vinegar comes in to play.

Of course, I’m using De Nigris organic white wine vinegar with certified organically cultivated grapes. Why should we expect anything else?

 GROUND TURKEY AND CABBAGE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Serves six, unless you select large bell peppers and someone’s appetite is on the small size. Then it will serve eight quite nicely.

Ingredients

½ head medium sized green cabbage

1 large sweet Vidalia onion

5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup chicken broth

1 large (or two small) Yukon gold potato(es)

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Slice onion and add to skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and chicken broth on medium-high heat. Cover and cook for approximately ten minutes until onions are tender. Check frequently to see if an extra splash of broth is needed.

3.

While onions are cooking, peel and grate potato. Add to skillet, lowering heat to medium and covering for approximately five minutes.

Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest Are you using your pressure cooker to its fullest potential? I've barely scratched the surface but I gotta' tell you... I use it all week long for soups! Recently I decided that I wanted to use it to make a dessert and started browsing around on Pinterest. I decided to make creme brulee in my Instant Pot! After playing around with it, I posted (link in bio) a recipe for creme brulee with a touch of lemon.🍋
I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always hav I don't really have a sweet tooth yet I always have a "little something" in the pantry to satisfy the little bit of sweet tooth that I have! After a zillion years of blogging, I can count on one hand the number of desserts that I've blogged about. So, when I do create a recipe and actually post it, I'm like, "Look at me, I'm a baker now!" hahaha Actually, it's not all about baking. For example, I just posted a recipe for Instant Pot creme brulee with a touch of lemon. Link in bio, of course! The ingredients are super simple and the pressure cooker makes it super fast and easy. Best of all? It is #lowcarb and #keto!
I don't know about you, but man I love a good sala I don't know about you, but man I love a good salad. The best thing about this salad (okay, besides the taste) is that the ingredients are sooooo easy to make ahead of time. That means you can dinner prep and toss this salad together at the last moment. As all good salad should do.⁠
The stars of this healthy salad are the hearty veggies: sweet potatoes and radishes. You’re going to roast them first. That’s right, roast!
A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong A healthy salad is wholesome. Substantial. Strong enough to sail on its own, yet perfectly willing to tag along with the main course. In fact, I think you’ll love serving this salad whenever you may have someone at the dinner table that is drawn to more-veggies and less-meat.⁠

It’s pretty isn’t it?
Savoring.⁠ Not rushed. ⁠ Not complicated. ⁠ Savoring.⁠

Special. ⁠
Eating happily is in the moments of a meal.⁠
⁠
Do I do this with every meal moment? I don't, yet I'm trying. And, when I do... it IS really special. Not special like, oooo look at this perfectly grilled filet with candles and fresh flowers. Instead, it's more like, hey - look at this moment we're enjoying  together or alone. It's about savoring, keeping it simple, and really focusing on the moment.⁠
⁠
I recently traveled and someone commented that they could never have me over because they would be embarrassed to cook for me because they don’t cook fancy. That made me sad and I was quick to say how much I focus on the simple things, the simple foods. The ones that aren't fancy! Honestly, mostly my food may look complicated but that's just styling. If you look at my pictures on my IG profile - or recipes on my blog - they're simple. Simple ingredients. Pecans. Beans. Fish. Martinis. :)⁠
⁠
If you ever need encouragement that you're on the right track by slowing down to savor, I'm here for you.
Oh hi! Want to know what makes me cheerful?⁠ ⁠ Oh hi! Want to know what makes me cheerful?⁠
⁠
A well-stocked pantry, that's what.⁠
⁠
I find that keeping a lean and purposeful pantry makes me breathe easier AND - ironically - makes me more creative in the kitchen. Have you ever felt that way?⁠
⁠
I am curious to know what are the top ingredients that you like to keep stocked in your pantry. 
⁠
I'll start:⁠
⁠
1) nuts for snacks⁠
2) canned diced tomatoes (for soup)⁠
3) small yellow potatoes⁠
4) spices⁠
5) pre-made sauces (for last minute assistance)⁠
⁠
Your turn!

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
