I've been lethargic for so many months now, and all of a sudden, yesterday was like a complete turn around... my old self was coming back - the one that hates to sit down, that's always doing something... I worked a full day of work, went home on my lunch hour and cleaned my kitchen, went home after work and scrubbed down bathroom walls (we are painting it), did laundry, cleaned up-some more housechores, and turned around and made an incredible dinner... the only thing about it - I was sore after all that movement I haven't done in months, and I got the shakes really badly (I'm guessing my blood sugar dropped and I needed to hydrate)... I ate a few strawberries and drank down a lot of water - it helped.
Dinner:
Stuffed Poblano Chiles
2 c. cooked brown rice (Not Instant)
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup of chopped onion and bell peppers
1cup of finely shredded cheddar/monterey jack mix
1 can of Hatch Red Enchilada sauce
3 nice sized Poblano Chiles, sliced in half and seeded
1 cup of finely shredded cheddar/monterey jack mix
I broiled the chiles till the skin was bubbling and browning, then put them in a casserole dish like little boats
In a bowl I mixed the first 5 ingredients together, and then with a large spoon stuffed the peppers till over spilling.
Then I topped the peppers with the enchilada sauce and the remaning 1 c. of cheese and baked till bubbling all the way through - about 40 minutes at 400 degrees... and that was that... the most filling, healthy, delicious meal I've made in a long time....
My son licked his plate clean and said "You can make that again!"....
