Lemon Pepper Salmon & Stuffed Peppers

Tonight I made two anti-inflammatory meals in tandem!  Was a little stressful, but glad I did it.  I was really craving some sugar during the few minutes of stress, but thanks to my amazing enourager of a husband it was all good. 

So here's what went down in my kitchen tonight...I made salmon for dinner with Tom's parents and now we have 3 lunches for the rest of this week.  Sweet!

Recipe #1 Dinner: Lemon Pepper Salmon

Season 2 salmon filets with lemon pepper and olive oil.  Bake at 425 for 14 minutes.
Cook 1 c. brown rice while salmon is baking.

Drizzle baked fish and rice with squeeze of lemon.
Serve with veggie of your choice...I like asparagus or a spinach salad.


Yumm!!

Recipe #2-Lunch for tomorrow: Stuffed Turkey Peppers
(This is a variation of my mom's stuffed peppers-she makes them perfectly!)

3 green or red peppers
3/4 lb. ground turkey
1 c. brown rice
2 tsp. Worchesershire Sauce
1 can low sodium tomato soup
dash of pepper
dash of salt

De-stem peppers and take out seeds.
Boil peppers in salt water for 5 minutes.
Cook brown rice while peppers are boiling.
Brown turkey and strain fat.
Place peppers in greased 8x8 pan.

Mix browned turkey, cooked rice, tomato soup, Worchestershire, pepper, salt together and stuff into peppers.

Bake for 25 min. at 350.

Top with your favorite cheese and enjoy!



Delish!
