Well, first off can I just say how freakin' excited I am to finally have a DSLR camera?
I know that has nothing to do with the food, well I guess it kinda does since I use it to show Y'all some tasty recipes, but I am as excited about photography as I am food.
You see, years and years and yearrrrrrrrrs ago, when I went to college, I was studying to be a child psychiatrist but took a photography class to fill one of my requirements. I figured it would be fun, and an easy class to pass.
First off, not so easy! It was the old 35mm cameras and we had to develop our own film.
But second, my teacher told me that I had a great eye and he really thought I could have a future in photography.
Do what ?
After that, I actually started working as a professional race car photographer.
It really was amazeballs.
Fast forward a few years to mommyhood.
The #1 thing I always wanted to be when I was growing up was a good Mom, so my kids were my life. My Ex was in the military and was gone more than 50% of the time, so working outside the house was not even on the table. I ran a home daycare for years so I could be home with my kids.
I was the Mom that was at every school function.
When my daughter was in the talent show I was front row Mom taking 55 billion pictures.
When my son was in wrestling and football I was the Mom that yelled so loud he could hear me down on the field.
Ya, I was that Mom ?
Now, fast forward to 2010.
I was in college studying to be an occupational therapist when I got the news that I had breast cancer. With surgeries and recoup time, I had to drop out.
When I could finally get out of bed I was not allowed to lift anything heavier than a phone book, so the computer became my escape. I started a personal blog just to keep from losing my mind when my daughter first brought up the subject of me being a food blogger.
She knew that the Movie Julie and Julia was one of my favorites, and she said she knew I could do it.
I laughed.
She insisted.
Then my son, my Dad and Kevin all said they knew I could do it.
?
Now my kids are 26 and 30. I have a granddaughter that I adore and a man that supports everything that I do.
And I am doing what I love!
But bottom line, it is Y'all that make this even a remote possibility. So, thank you sooooo much ?
Holy smokes, I got a little sidetracked didn't I?
Sorry for the ramble, I do that from time to time. Now, let's get down to the food, shall we?
This recipe has been on the back burner for way too long.
Years ago I made these but they had orzo in them and a really heavy cheese sauce. Oh, don't get me wrong, they were amazing BUT I wanted to skinny them down for you because Y'all have asked me for more healthy dishes.
THIS dish fits that bill to a T.
It is easy to make, low carb, high protein, and uber delicious! It also freezes and reheats well so it is a great make-ahead meal, and leftovers are just as good.
Kevin adds extra cheese when he reheats his but I just look the other way.
This is one that even Miss Picky Pants likes, so you know it is a crowd pleaser because she is my toughest critic!
It is great with a side salad, or Garlic Herb Cauliflower Rice to keep it low carb.
Of course, Kevin likes his with a side of white rice, again looking the other way.

I wish I liked peppers but I just don't. I would just eat the inside and maybe try to pawn off the pepper.

Yum! I am so adding these to the shopping list! I love stuffed pepper and philly cheese steaks!

If it is the texture of the pepper that you don't like, you could use my longer cooking method in the note of the recipe, or even parboil them. My daughter hates peppers but will eat them like this. You could also use the filling for a bakes potato or sweet potato too!
