stuffed bell peppers

I just made some stuffed bell peppers.

I didn't want to listen to "the man" so didn't look at any recipes and winged it.

some garlic, brown rice, onions, salt, olive oil, tomato sauce, a few carrots and peas.

It was pretty money.

7 moneys out of 10.

It was a little bland. If I had put cheese in it, that would have taken it to another level.

Health wise it was really money

Rhubarb delight!

This recipe is not for the faint hearted...

1 yellow cake box mix
4 cups diced rhubarb
1 pint heavy cream
1 cup sugar

Make the yellow cake mix according to the box. Pour into greased 9x11 pan. Sprinkle chopped rhubarb over cake batter. Pour heavy cream over entire batter. Sprinkle sugar over the cream & batter.

Bake at 325 for 90 minutes. Start checking with a tooth pick at 60 minutes- the cake is done when tooth pick comes out clean. This is a moist rich cake that almost reminds me of a cobbler- even goes well with ice cream!
