Yummy G-Free Noodles

So when going gluten free I went to the store and bought a little bit of this and a little bit of that so  I could attempt to eat as a "normal" person.  Well, as I started unpacking my grocery's I looked at the food label of the noodles I had purchased, and could not believe the amount of calories in a serving! (205 calories in 2oz) 4 servings/box and I defiantly thought I could eat the whole box!

So 10 months later..I still had not eaten the noodles.  I then moved home and everyone wanted spaghetti, so I finally gave in and was ready to try my G-free noodles.  They were AMAZING : ) it tasted like real pasta, and I hadn't had that in over a year, needles to say I was in heaven.  The best part?? I was stuffed after a serving size (which I didn't think would be the case) so after all the calories weren't so bad : )  I loved it so much, 3 days later I made homemade mac n' cheese!

Pasilla Stuffed Peppers

Wow! It's been a while and so much has changed.
I decided to start this blog while I was wrapping up my internship, moving home, studying for boards, etc. etc.  So, I'm going to attempt the blog world one more time, as I hope it to be much more successful now that I have some free time!

I'm now a Registered Dietitian, living at home and on the job hunt! So my current day-to-day life includes working out, cooking, looking for jobs, and spending time with friends and family before I land the big J-O-B that could put me who knows where.


So my mom and I made this delicious recipe that EVERYONE loved, and wanted more!

So you're going to need:

2 cans refried beans
1-16oz jar of salsa
2 bags Uncle Bens (microwavable) Brown Rice
2 bags Cheddar Cheese
2 bags Mexican Cheese
6 Pasilla Peppers

First, cut the peppers in half, clean and wash.  Place halves in a glass, microwavable, dish.  Heat peppers for 3 minutes in microwave.

Next, combine rice, beans, salsa, and "some" cheese into bowl.

Fill Peppers

Microwave for 2 minutes (or until desired temperature)

Sprinkle Cheese on top and microwave for 2 additional minutes

Serve with sour cream, black olives, and any other desired toppings.

Enjoy!
