Around And Around I Go LOL

So I haven't posted in awhile and I wanted to update everyone. My dad has been doing a lot better and is now in physical therapy twice a week. He's still taking anxiety medication and it seems to be helping. Because my mom works full time it's basically up to me to take my dad to all of his appointments these days. Today I was up at 7am to take my mom to work so I could have the van to take my dad to his doctor appointment this morning. Today it was for his physical, tomorrow is his therapy. After his appointment we ran some errands, including getting lunch at Chipotle and I found out they now offer brown rice on their menu. We tried it with our burrito bowls instead of the white rice and it was delicious. After we finished our errands we came home and my dad laid down to take a nap. I took advantage of the quiet time to watch some TV and relax until time to pick my mom up from work by 5pm. When we got home I started dinner. Yesterday, after church, my friends and I went to our pastor's house for lunch (we do this every week) and one of the women made a casserole of ground beef, brown rice, red peppers and tomato sauce. It was delicious and I went back for seconds. :-) Well, today I wanted to try another version for dinner. Here's the recipe I came up with:


Pepper and Onion Mess
1 ½ pounds ground turkey (or other meat of your choice)
2 red peppers
2 green peppers
1 medium onion
6oz. egg noodles
1 14.4oz. can diced tomatoes
1 15oz. can tomato sauce
2 cups mild cheddar cheese

Brown turkey in pan, spoon out into baking dish. Cut up peppers and onions and cook them in the turkey juices in pan, salt and pepper to taste. Boil egg noodles and combine everything into the pan with the turkey, sprinkle cheese over top and bake in 350 degree oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.

My parents both loved it and I had two platefuls, LOL. I hope someone else tries it and likes it as much as we do!
