Bwahahahaha! Funny! She does always look so nice and evenly tanned, The little hotness!

Oh, bless you! It is so funny for me to hear this, though, because I'm a sunscreen fiend and never, ever get in the sun. Any tan I have is always entirely from this bottle - and while in northwest Florida last month among all the bronze babes, I felt like such an imposter!

** To continue to keep this thread on-topic, I will say that I also love having shakes at night. They're sweet, filling, and most importantly keep me out of trouble!

P.S: Also, something about having prime rib makes me drop a full pound the following day.

On topic, I have been on a stuffed baked bell pepper kick. Which is odd due to the fact I have avoided cooked bell peppers since the dawn of time. Then I get a hankering for one the other day and BANG! I am in love! But yeah, stuffed Peppers is waaaay filling.

How do you make your peppers? I used to make it with rice, but I can't anymore! What do you stuff it with that is Atkins friendly?

Anything with ground beef usually fills me up with a relatively small serving. I tried the Shepherd's pie recipe from Linda's and it was soooooo good. I'm going to make bunches of it to freeze for quick dinners in the winter. Yummy comfort food but totally legal and hard to overeat cuz a little goes a long way.

While I can still want more ground chuck cheeseburger after eating 4, I rarely can make it through half a serving of very fatty pieces of beef, untrimmed. Must be the fat.

I always "eye" the recipe and don't measure but I use cooked ground beef, a splash of tomato sauce, a bit of cream cheese or cottage cheese (not in induction of course), garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, a few shakes of grated parm, onion sauted in with the beef, sometimes a handfull of thawed and squeezed frozen spinach, sometimes a few pieces of canned mushroom (whatever is left in the fridge). I pack the mixture while hot into the pepper, top with a little more shakey parm cheese and bake, uncovered, at 350 until the pepper is soft.
DH doesn't dig on green peppers really, so I usually just make a single serving.

This reminds me of Chile Rellenos...

"The chile relleno, literally "stuffed chile", is a dish of Mexican cuisine, consisting of a roasted green New Mexico or poblano chile pepper stuffed with cheese (or more rarely minced meat), covered in an egg batter, and fried. It is usually served covered with a sauce, although the type of sauce varies widely. It is sometimes also served in a taco with rice, salsa and other toppings."

Step by step with pix

Mine are usually just stuffed with cheese...

Linda's Low Carb Spinach Lasagna is the number one favorite food that fills me up. It's easy to make and have left overs in the fridge for reheating the next day.

Yum! We just had this tonight and it was terrific!

That looks awesome!! And that batter... "For a simple batter, whip 5-7 egg whites until stiff. Slowly fold in yolks and a pinch of salt. Or use your favorite batter recipe." Sounds like you are dipping into revolution roll batter. I am making that tomorrow for sure!! *drool*

We just had Linda's Italian Casserole and that was really good and filling!

WOW

Linda's Low Carb Spinach Lasagna is way good. Relatively easy to make, very tasty and great staying power. I had it at noon yesterday. Things happened so that I did not get to eat again until nearly 10 pm. Not even hungry.

Thanks for the recipe!
