Blogs...

Uh-ho... with wedding planning done, I have a lot of free time at work. I have subscribed to so many blogs in the past month. But they are fun to read! I really wish I would have gotten into blogging sooner.. But HEY no time like the present.

My new favorite-

Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers

1 lb Lean ground beef
10 oz package Chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 medium Zucchini, coarsly grated
1 small onion, minced
1 egg, lightly beated
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh Ground pepper
3 Red Bell Peppers, halved lengthwise, cleaned and cored
2 - 14oz cans low sodium stewed tomatoes
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

Pre heat oven to 350
In bowl combine the beef, spinach, zucchini, onion, egg, oregano, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix until throughly combined

Fill peppers with the meat mixture, place halved side up in a 9x13 baking dish. Pour the tomatoes over the peppers and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and and bake until meat fully cooked (about 25 minutes longer).

Goals.

These were my Goals for 2009, as stated in a previous post in January.

1. Become more in control of my Finances
2. Be accountable for having my own savings
3. Cook at home more, prepare food for lunches for Greg and I
4. Manage my time better
5. Become healthier, both physically and mentally
6. Take classes in things that interest me
7. Do more Charitable things, donate my time
8. Plan a vacation for Greg and I (not the wedding in Fl for October)

I am happy to say that I am really keeping up on all but the last 2, (so far)! I have not planned a vacation because we decided to use that money to pay off some bills and we are going to wait till we have more in our savings. I have not been as charitable as I can. However, instead of giving up something for lent- I will be making a donation to an charity. I think it is a better solution. Also I am looking into working my Chuch Soup Kitchen when it resumes.

Leave a Message

It is lovely not hearing the sound of a phone ringing or someone trying to get my attention. It is nice not to hate it when I hear my phone go off. I think i might leave it off more often.

Rangers Game!

We went to the Rangers vs. Panthers game on Thursday. Greg bought seats in section 101. We had a former MTV VJ sitting the row in front of us. Her name is Karen Duff, she went by Duffy on MTV in the early 90's. He son was the kid who rode the Zamboni in during the 2nd intermission. Unfortunately the Rangers did lose.

Dinner for 2

I made dinner for Greg and I tonight. I know that he is planning on being on his diet again starting this week, so I made a few not so healthy things that he would enjoy. While Greg took a nap I got started. Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Black Forest Brussels Sprouts and a London Broil. It took a while for me to get it all prepared and ready to cook, but it was all done on time and ready together. I also made a special Bunt cake that Greg's Aunt Edyie makes for special occasions. When he woke up he took out the camera and snapped a few shots of me in action.

Friday Night

This is my Friday night, and I love it. I am drinking wine, and reading. Roxy is sleeping on my lap. I have 3 books that I would like to read for March, so I am starting today. Those books are "Lucia, Lucia", "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and "Virgin Blue". The last 2 are for the online and regular Book Clubs that I have joined.
