Another hobby of mine is cooking.
I have never been real excited about Stuffed Bell Peppers. You know the ones, Peppers crammed full of hamburger and rice then smothered with tomatoe sauce. Edible but not very exciting. Well I tried a new recipe the other night and I think it is a keeper.
6 Bell Peppers (cut in half length wise)
2 1/2 cups rice
2 pounds ground meat
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes with juice
1 10 oz can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
16 oz grated cheese (I used fresh Chevre but you can use whatever you like.)
Salt & Pepper
Preheat oven to 400.
Cut & clean Peppers then wilt them in boiling water for about 5 minutes.
Cook the rice according to package directions.
In a medium skillet brown the meat, onion and garlic.
In a medium saucepan bring the Tomatoes and Rotel to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Combine Meat, Tomatoes, Rice add salt & Pepper to taste and mix well.
In a 9 X 13 baking dish place peppers skin side down and fill them with the meat mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake far approx. 15 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle cheese on top. Return to oven Uncovered for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Maybe I was just really hungry but I thought they were terrific!

Goats Milk Soap
I haven't been on here for a while but I am back.
Spring turned into summer and things have been hectic. We finally got our Oat hay cut and baled (for the goats)and I planted some black eyed peas (cow peas)to cut for hay. If I can get some rain!
The Soap Business is up and running and we are making and selling Goats Milk Soap!
People seem really facinated when they find out that we milk goats, so I have decided to answer the most asked questions here.
Yes we milk them by hand.
Yes, everyday twice a day.
Yes we milk when it is cold or hot or windy or raining or any combination of those!
No we don't milk the Billy goats, Just the Does! (yes I have been asked that)
We mainly milk Nubians and Nubian/Boer crosses (but I'm not hung up on any one breed)
No, it is not Goat Soap. It is Goats Milk Soap!
Yes we drink the milk.
Yes it does lather.
And my all time favorite,
No the soap won't make you smell like a goat, it will keep you from smelling like a goat!
Our Goats milk Soap is "NOT" melt and pour! We make each batch from natural fats, oils and goats milk. We are very proud of the product that we make. If you have any questions please let me know.
Right now we have about 19 scents that we make.
