From Trash to Treasure

My mom found this cool, old cabinet that someone was throwing away. This is a picture of it after the contact paper was ripped off and the three layers of old paint were stripped. We decided to remake this cabinet into something I can use in my dining room.

No nails used to make this cabinet. Which I thought was pretty impressive.

After sanding the piece, removing all of the hardware and wiping it down with a mild solution my mom and I started to paint!

I chose a mustardy yellow color:)

Three layers of paint and a day later....The finished product!

Stuffed Peppers

Recipe:
1 cup water
1/2 cup uncooked Arborio rice
2 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 tomato, diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Place the peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender and skin starts to brown.
While the peppers are roasting, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato, and cook for 5 minutes. Spoon in the cooked rice, and stir until heated through. Remove from heat, mix in the feta cheese, and spoon the mixture into the pepper halves.
Return to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
