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

2.

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.

Ever wonder why a crackling fire draws you towards Ever wonder why a crackling fire draws you towards it like a moth to a flame? The fire’s warmth is more than just heat; the foods you cook on a flame add more than nourishment.⁠

One of my favorite memories as a kid growing up in the Research Triangle in North Carolina was the annual church hayride at the country home of our friends, the Barbours. We lived in a suburb of the state capital, close to physically yet far away from life on the outskirts of town filled with Tobacco fields, cotton patches, and red dirt roads. ⁠
⁠
The Barbours had some farm that my little self couldn’t comprehend. In reality, they may have had just land, yet to me; land meant a farm. And besides, they had a big ol’ barn, tractors, and hosted the annual hayride.⁠
⁠
My favorite part of the memory was the firepit, where everyone gathered around, laughed, and enjoyed each other’s company. It didn’t matter if you were a kid or elderly. ⁠
⁠
You may think, “But I don’t have a fireplace or firepit! What can I do?” ⁠
⁠
Improvise.⁠
⁠
Youtube a crackling fireplace video or a firepit on a beach. Dim the lights and turn the crackle up. Invite yourself to a friend’s home with ample backyard and offer to bring ‘smores. Go to a park.⁠

Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitio Webster’s Dictionary has two excellent definitions for the word nourishment. One is “to provide with food,” and the other is “to provide for,” to provide support.⁠
⁠
I love that.⁠
⁠
Just as food sustains and keeps us alive, feeling supported sustains us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s how we build bonds, friendships, and hope for the future.⁠

“Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I s “Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to say those words again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠

I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠

⁠
Did you know that folks in the UK will use the word “cheers” as “thank you?” From wedding toasts to praising someone for remarkable achievement, raising a glass with a special someone is a special bonding moment.⁠
⁠
I love that part about “cheers” and “thank” can be the same. ⁠
⁠
Have you ever wanted to become more thankful? More grateful? More appreciative of, well, everything that we take for granted?⁠
⁠
Why not give thanks and cheer a little more often?⁠

“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
