Stuffed Peppers

May 12, 2012 in brookemeaganjones.com

With our big move coming up, Aaron and I decided it would be wise to do less grocery shopping and make more meals with what we already have in order to clean out our fridge and pantry. These stuffed peppers are about as basic as you can get since our fridge is about as basic as it can get right now.

Ingredients:

2 bell peppers

1/2 cup cooked rice

tomato sauce (to taste)

1/2 tomato chopped

2 slices harvati jalapeno cheese

butter

salt + pepper (to taste)

 

Fill each pepper with rice filling and cook at 350F for about 40 minutes or until the peppers are tender. I added a dollop of butter to the top of each pepper before placing in the oven. When the peppers are almost ready, melt cheese on top. Simply delicious!

I can’t believe Aaron and I get possession of our house in less than a week! I’ve started to pack up some of my clothes so I’ll be remixing a lot of the same pieces until we get all settled in. The best thing about this shirt is that it’s actually two shirts. Oh, the possibilities!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

May 5, 2012 in brookemeaganjones.com

My boyfriend started his new job this week and to celebrate his first day, I whipped him up a batch of his favorite cookies. Both the cookies and the first day on the new job were a huge success. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

I used this recipe by Smitten Kitchen.

Sheer Repetition

This is what I wore last Saturday when Aaron and I went to confirm and order our flooring for the new house. I wore pretty much the same thing again on Tuesday. And if I ever change out of my packing and cleaning clothes, I might just wear something similar again today. You see, when I really love a piece, I can’t help but wear it as often as is socially acceptable. It feels good to wear something that you love, and I like to feel good.

As for the flooring we chose, well you’re just going to have to wait and see. I will tell you that we opted for an extremely expensive, but totally worth it (I hope!) cork in the kitchen and bathroom and chose a laminate for the rest of the upstairs to offset the price. We take possession in 11 days and there is still LOTS to do. But now that we’ve accumulated enough boxes to move our entire condo building, I suppose it’s time to get cracking. Or perhaps I should say packing!

P.S.

It’s been a bit windy lately, but it’s all rainbows and unicorns at the end of the day.

A-Listers

April 26, 2012 in brookemeaganjones.com

Aaron and I have been really great about grabbing a patch of grass and making lists of everything we need to do. However, there comes a time when you need to stop adding to the list and start crossing things off instead. According to HGTV.ca, you should start packing one month before moving date and start deciding what to keep and what to toss a whole two months before the big day. Oh. I guess we have a little work to do. I think this calls for a priority list.
