Day 3 of the diet has passed, and with it several temptations. I have forgotten how hard it is to stick to this! Twice I was tempted with chocolate and once with a donut. Thankfully I prevailed. I've realized I have a great deal of 'will' power... It's the 'won't' power I lack. But today I succeeded. That being said, today was pretty smooth except for one damn call. Jerry from Florida just couldn't understand the concept of using a client to check email versus using the web-mail client. He wasted 50 minutes of my time explaining this over and over and over again. ARG!

I'm still hoping to have that potluck dinner at work. Because of our tough schedule, we can't have our team meeting time moved around easily in order to allow us to have the potluck dinner. Only one more team meeting left with my current team

Oh, I'd like to share my recipes on this journal too. Not necessarily for everyone to enjoy but so I don't forget them when I come up with them. Today's recipe:

Stuffed Peppers

You will need:
4-5 green bell peppers(or red/yellow ones too)
2 lbs ground beef
1 cup diced mushrooms
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded mild cheddar
Seasoning salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. Begin coring each the peppers carefully, removing the center along with the seeds. This can be done by slicing around the top stem and making one cut along to the bottom. Carefully remove the stem and seeds and rinse in cold water. Next, mash together the ground beef, mushrooms, onions, and cheese together with your hands(much like you would a meatloaf). Be sure to sprinkle in some seasoning salt, usually an 1/8th of a teaspoon should do. Next, fill the peppers with the meaty paste, so that the pepper is only slightly bursting with the meat. Do this for each pepper. Next, place each pepper in a cake pan or ceramic casserole dish and bake for 35-45 minutes. Remove from oven, serves 4 or 5. Yummy!
