Ahhh more ehhh pepper?

So we all headed over to my parents after church today. I wanted to make a few dinners for them!

But first we going to master these cheerios! I looked on line last night for exercises for stroke victims for arm/hand/leg rehab. I found all kinds of stuff muuuahhhhahhhh!

So this one is picking up a small item (cheerios!) and placing them in a cup! One by one. As you can see my mom is working really hard- she said I could take pictures. It takes alot of effort to lift her arm to were she kind of leans to one side to do it. But she's real good at picking them up. She worked up a good sweat doing that so you know it's a good thing. We worked a few more exercises with her hand like wadding up a piece of paper then smoothing it back out with her bad hand- another sweat inducing exercise! So good for her, then we worked with the playdoh for a bit.

Then we worked on her legs for a while. Now she deserves a break!!

 I started with this dinner that they will actually eat tomorrow night. This is no hamburger helper either! I made this from scratch- mostly! Browned some ground beef, boiled some no-yoke noodles (no cholesterol) added some peas and a can of cream of mushroom soup. My dad says they love this kind of food. Made 2 dinners out of this!

 Now onto what I was making us for dinner tonight! I wanted to try another new recipe, and I've been wanting to try this stuffed pepper recipe. I boiled a pepper for each of us- mom, dad, Jeromy, Kenton and I....

 Now working on the mixture.... celery, onions, garlic- all freshly chopped (with my new pampered chef hand chopper- love it!) fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, then mixed with ground turkey, one egg, some Worcestershire sauce and some other yummy spices... here it is simmering....

 Now the peppers are stuffed and ready to cook!

 The last few minutes I added goat cheese (so Jeromy can have cheese, too!) to melt... yum...

My mom got the special red pepper, cause I love her... she said she liked it and she ate almost all of it! How cute is she???

 Dad said he liked it- he didn't eat the pepper but he got seconds on the yummy mixture...

 Kent liked it too!

 Jeromy got the biggest stuffed pepper- smothered in goat cheese and some extra filling on the side...

I ate my so fast there was no picture to take!

Katie, out!
