Love me some powerfood!

In the words of Cuba Gooding, Jr. in Jerry Maguire "show me the mother-f*ing money." We are pretty much broke right now due to it being the end of the summer and I haven't had a pay check since June. 6 days and counting until my account is full again. I am thankful for the time off, but the money goes quickly during those 3 months off. Because of that, I cooked with what we had on hand. We had brown rice, eggs, cheese and that's pretty much it. I did buy some large bell peppers and an onion and so I decided to make Brown Rice and egg stuffed peppers. It was my first time making S.P. and it was a valiant effort (could have been cooked longer, but tasted great.) I then realized that tomorrow was Powermealaweek at Powercakes day, so I quickly showed the world my creation. I hope you all are proud and maybe make this healthy dish for your family.

Here it goes:

1 cup brown rice
4 large bell peppers
1 egg for each serving
half an onion
1 small-ish diced red/green/yellow (mixed) pepper
chili powder, to taste
garlic
S/P

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cook the rice according to the directions. Add the diced veggies, chili powder, garlic, and S/P to rice and mix together once off the stove. I evened out the bottoms of the peppers so they would stand without falling. Place in an oven safe square dish. Stuff the peppers with the rice mix. Dig out a little hole in the top to crack the yoke in. Carefully place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Once it beeps, add cheese to the top and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until egg is cooked thoroughly.

I served it with pumpkin mash. Warm the pumpkin on the stove and add 1 tbsp coconut oil, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and honey. Stir until hot. Sprinkle coconut on top. It pretty much looks like (and tastes like)  baby food, so not everybody will be a fan. I just love how good pumpkin is for you and it's a potato-type side. Obviously, you can serve with anything you want on the side.  Leave me your comments! Enjoy!

Hello Powermealaweekers! Here is my "Naner Vanilla and PB Fluff Chia Pudding".  Please do not judge based on what this looks like...haha. It's as easy as it sounds to make. I first took 1 tbsp of chia and mixed it with 1/4 cup almond milk and sugar free vanilla pudding mix (1/2 tbsp). Mix and let it sit for about 30 mins so the chia can absorb the milk. After the longest half hour ever, I cut half a banana and top it off with some PB Fluff (2 tbsp PB2 and 1/4 cup water). This tasted like heaven in my mouth. I wish I had made more, but I ran out of bananas. This was for dessert the other night. My dog was on my lap trying to eat it because PB and banana is his favorite!  Go make this now for a healthy and delicious snack/dessert/justbecause.
