Quotes from Wally Lamb’s She’s Come Undone

I had a dream last night that I had to write a ten-page paper on recovery stories - about individuals who encountered a lot of opposition and yet they persevered. I haven't had such an enlightening dream in a long time, and I can still recall who/what I planned on writing about. One of the major focal points was on the main character of one of my favorite books, She's Come Undone. Although crude at times, I've read this entire book from front to back about ten times and I always put it down and feel the same way: completely inspired and hopeful. Sure, Dolores Price goes through the unthinkable throughout her life, but she's relatable, human, and I find those characters to be the most raw and engaging characters in existence.

I know that this post is quite different from the others that I generally post, but I feel so inspired and compelled to share a few tidbits from a book that I love. Feast your eyes (and heart).

Easy Stuffed Peppers Recipe

It's been a while, but I think Mel Gibson explains my absence for me in saying, "I think any kind of hiatus one takes in an artistic journey is going to make a huge difference. The pause will inform the choices you make." The choice that I made was to enjoy the holidays and our vacation to the Caribbean, then come back and throw myself back into the cooking/crafting process in 2014. So here I am!

If you're looking for an easy (yet delicious), crowd-pleasing dinner, then look no further than this Easy Stuffed Peppers recipe.
