Dirty Rice Recipe

I LOVE cooking and baking!! I have always been a fan of doing this even before I was married, but at that point I didn't really have anyone to cook for so it wasn't as much fun. Now after being married for 3 years I have come to love it even more because my husband loves to eat and will eat almost anything, so I can try out new stuff on him whenever I want:) There literally has been only one thing I made for dinner in the past 3 years that he wouldn't eat because it was so bad. There have been things, of course, that he hasn't loved, but he ate it so I take that as an ok thing...haha:) I decided since I love to cook and bake so much that I will start using my blog to share some recipes that I like, starting with one I made for the first time for dinner tonight and it was DELICIOUS!!! This recipe was found on allrecipes.com which is a favorite recipe website of mine.


Dirty Rice (4 Servings)

1 pound ground beef
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups water
1 cup uncooked rice
Directions: Heat large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in beef, onion, peppers, beef bouillon, salt, seasoned salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and not pink. Drain and discard grease (if needed). Stir in water and rice. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20-25 minutes. ENJOY:)

32 Weeks!!

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and an ultrasound to check the growth of the baby due to a low hormone level I had back at 13 weeks. Everything went great! I gained the weight my doctor wanted me to gain, my blood pressure was good and Sadie's heartbeat was still nice and strong. My ultrasound showed normal growth of the baby so there is nothing to worry about at this point. I LOVE having ultrasounds!! They are just so amazing to me! Sadie is currently 4 lbs 2 ounces, she is doing what she is supposed to be doing, and my fluid levels around her were great! I am excited too because I get to have one more ultrasound in 3 weeks!:) I thought I would share my 32 week belly picture and two pictures of our baby girl! The one picture is of her face and the other is just so awesome of her nose and lips!

30 Weeks!!

I cannot believe I am 30 weeks!! It's really kinda crazy how fast it has gone. It seems like when you get into the thirty something weeks that it is all going to happen even faster. Only 10 more weeks until my due date?! Yikes!!:)
