Tasty Tuesday featuring: Bell Pepper Stuffed with Meatloaf


Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back!

On today's blog I have a recipe that is one of my absolute favs.  It is not only healthy but very macro - friendly.  Since I am carb cycling this is a great low carb, high protein meal that I can enjoy and get very full from.

Here's how to make it:

Ingredients: Note these are just items I put into mine but feel free to add your own take on it!

1 medium green bell pepper
4 oz of lean ground turkey
1 egg
1 tbsp of dry oats 
garlic salt (dash)
chopped dry onion (just sprinkled some in) 
food scale (for exact measurements if your counting those macros)


Using your food scale measure out 4 oz. of lean ground turkey.


Add the egg and 1tbsp of dry oats.
Mix the meat, egg and dry oats all together.  I like to fold the egg and oats into the meat.


The only spices I used.  Garlic powder is much better than salt, but I don't add any other salt.


Cut and Core the inside of your bell pepper.


Bell peppers can be kind of tricky and just get out the best you can of the inside.


Get your oven safe dish and place the bell pepper inside.  I put the meat mixture inside the bell pepper before placing it in baking dish.  You can do that part however you choose.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes.


I paired mine with half of a baked sweet potato.  

All that is left is to eat and enjoy!!! 😍

Leave a comment below on how your bell peppers come out.

Macro Totals for this dish: (not including sweet potato)

Protein - 33.8
Fat - 6.7

Until next time, hope ya'll have a great day and God Bless😊

Getting My Groove Back!

Hey Ya'll, January 1, 2014 I embarked on my own weight loss journey.  I had attempted many times before but I made sure this time was different.  On the outside I seemed like a happy person but on the inside I was disgusted with the person I saw.  I remember crying myself to sleep at night and feeling like maybe I am meant to just be a "bigger girl."  This was my lowest point in life when I was at my own rock bottom.  It was a dark and negative place that I never want to return to.   Ever since I was a little girl I had always been chubby and would look at food and felt like I gained 20 pounds.  I didn't know what moderation was and ate because I loved food (still love food).  Many people don't know this about me but I had a binge eating disorder that I kept very private.  Food controlled  my life and it was my go to especially during stressful times.  So on January 1, 2014 I told myself that my resolution would be to get the weight off.  We have all

Update on Mom

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back 💞 Todays blog post was not easy to write but with permission from mom she has allowed me to share a moment that I pray no one ever has to face. August 15, 2017 a day that seemed like any other day.  Mom and I were on our way to the cancer center.  While I was pulling into the parking garage mom gets a phone call.  The call was from her radiation oncologist informing her of a stat MRI.  We walk into the cancer center like all the other times we have.  She gets her lab work and we walk over to her little pod waiting for treatment.  The nurse comes over and informs us that they needed to start an iv for the MRI.  I began getting a little anxious due to the urgency the nurses and doctor had.   Mom has been very unstable and weak the past couple of weeks.  Walking has become a struggle for her and it just seemed like mom was moving backwards towards recovery.  We place mom in a wheelchair and I wheel her down to the outpatient imaging.

The Past Month...

Hey Ya'll and Welcome Back💞 I wanted to explain why I haven't uploaded a blog post in a while.   The picture I chose today is a major part of why I've been so busy.  I began classes again and just wanted to show off the beauty of UA.  My school schedule is Monday through Friday and I'm a full time student.  This semester has been hard for me though.  I love learning and attending my classes, the problem I am having is wanting to be social.  A huge part of me just wants to be able to attend each of my classes and not talk to anyone.  I have changed in a major way ever since receiving the news on mom.  Some of my classes are also challenging for the simple fact what we talk about is something I can relate to.   Earlier this week I really wanted to withdrawal from this semester.  School became overwhelming and I just didn't know how I could get through this semester.  I felt guilty for going to school and be away from mom.  In between and after my cla
