Yes, all the furry animals are praising my name. "Why?," you might ask? Well, the universe has dealt me another fun blow. During my pregnancy with Finnegan, I became severely lactose intolerant. I mean SEVERELY! Even Lactaid, and other pills didn't work. It was so painful and frustrating to cut out ALL dairy products from my diet. Luckily, once Finn was born, within a few weeks I was able to resume eating dairy...mint chip ice cream and I had a very passionate reunion!
Anyhow..., in the past two months it has become increasingly hard to eat/digest meat. Even a bite of chicken will cause my stomach to turn, I get bloated, and nauseated...lucky me, this lasts on average for two days. So, bye-bye meat! As soon as I finish nursing everything should go back to normal. Apparently, these kinds of digestive issues aren't wholly uncommon when pregnant or nursing...THANKS FINN!
So, I have been looking for new recipes and as I find ones that I like I am going to post them. Here's the first of hopefully many...and if you have any tasty meatless recipes pass them onto me!
Grilled Stuffed Red Bell Pepper
*1 Large red bell pepper
*1 c. rice
*1/4 c. cream cheese
*1/4 c. feta cheese
*1/8 c. red onion
*salt and pepper to taste
* Mix above ingredients in bowl. Hollow out the bell pepper and stuff it with the rice/cheese mixture. Place top of bell pepper back on and grill on the barbeque until pepper is soft and cheese is hot (10-15 min.). Cut in and enjoy.
I eat this with Wheat Thins to scoop up the extra cheese when it oozes out. Yummy! Other recipes can be used to stuff this...stove-top stuffing, cous-cous, etc. Try things out and have fun!

sounds horrible! No wonder the animals love you so much. I don't think they like me at all. I will let you know if I come up with any recipes. good luck.
The stuffed grilled peppers are great. I do not miss the meat with one of those.

I hear ya on the food intolerances. It sucks...I don't wish mine on anyone!
