Duck Mountain Fishing Trip
For two days, he was out of cell phone range...no calls from work, no texts, no emergencies to handle. If anyone asks what he caught on the fishing trip, Brian smiles and says, "Peace and serenity."
Even on the trip there, the views where amazing!

Simple Stuffed Peppers
I can't believe I've never tried making stuffed green peppers before. I'm sure you've heard the expression, "Necessity is the mother of invention." Well, this wasn't exactly a necessity, and I didn't exactly invent them....but I did have three green peppers in the fridge that I wanted to use, and I didn't have all of the ingredients in any of the recipes I looked at...so I had to come up with something on my own!
Due to my limited ingredients, this is a very simple recipe. I started by precooking two cups of brown rice. I used brown rice, because that's what I had, but any rice would be fine.
I used three peppers, but had some left over rice, so depending on the size of the peppers, you could probably make four.

While the rice was cooking, I cut the caps off the peppers, and hollowed out the seeds. I also cut a very thin slice off the bottom of each pepper, so they would stand up better. This slice can be chopped up and added to the other veggies.
I chopped up the onions, celery and garlic, and sauteed them in butter until they were starting to get soft. I mixed the veggies in with the cooked rice, and added salt and pepper, then filled the green peppers with this mixture.
I placed the stuffed peppers on a greased baking sheet, and popped them in the oven for 30 minutes at 350.
Served with lemon, these made a delicious addition to our meal! Fortunately, our kids didn't want any, because Brian and I had to share that third one!
So, if you're looking for a simple way to use up those green peppers sitting in your fridge, this recipe is for you!
Enjoy!
Manitoba Sky Monday- October 17/16
Once again, I thought it was going to be a boring week of sky photos, but by Thursday, the grey skies started to clear.
Still, I was thinking this might be all I'd get for the week, so I was happy to see these geese flying over our house!

Then came Friday's sunset!
And Sunday's sunrise was amazing!
This is just a few of the pictures I took...
It was so beautiful, I didn't notice how cold it was,
even though I was out on our deck in barefeet!
The colors kept changing, until the orange and pink gave way to gold,
as the sun started to rise over the trees.
And that's another week of Manitoba skies!
