Hi Friends!

Hope you've been well. My household? Not so much, meh. My husband has been sick with the flu since last Wednesday. I caught the cold on Friday. Today is Tuesday and he is still not well. As for me, I am back at work since Monday 馃榿

The weather's been weird, it doesn't feel like Winter most days. Yes we have Snowy days now and then, but it's been warm that everything just muddy, then turned to ice, back to mud again, ice again, over and over, for the past 2 weeks. I so hope it stays kinda warm like this until near Christmas 馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ

Anyhoo!

Today's recipe is bell pepper stew. In Hungary we call it Lecso. We don't normally add ground beef to our Lecso back in Hungary, but we are in Canada now, so we do 馃榿馃榿馃榿馃榿
