3P recipe: stuffed bell pepper soup


Although the weather is nearing 80 degrees some days this week, it was cold, rainy, and windy a few days last week.  On one such typical 'March- in like a lion' day, I was hungry for stuffed bell peppers but decided to make a soup- totally appropriate for a rainy night- instead.  I adapted my own makeup of this soup, and it is quick, easy, and oh-so-delicious!  The 3P man loved it, and after I shared some with my grandparents, my grandma sent me a sweet text message letting me know my grandpa labeled it "Definitely a Second Bowl of Soup good!"  Give this a try on the next cold March night in your neck of the woods, and let me know what you think!  Here's the recipe I used:

Wonders from the weekend

< beautiful signs of spring out the top of the sunroof >

Happy Monday, 3P pretties! I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend! Mine was filled with delicious food, fun birthday celebrations, a little bit of catching up around the house (cleaning and organizing, yeah!), and lovely signs of spring. Of course it flew by too fast- typical- but I am looking forward to a great week and lots of fun weekends ahead.

Obsessed: Paris Fashion Week Favorites

 < snow princess looks from Valentino >

Just some more Fall 2013 fashion show love on the 3P blog today, this time from Paris.  The rich, warm, luxe looking designs from these shows are nothing less than what I would dream to wear during cool fall days later this year.  I know many of us are more than ready for spring weather and lighter layers right now, but I just can't resist ogling the beautiful opulence of the Parisian shows.

Have a wonderful weekend, 3P style, and I will see you back here on Monday!

 < Chanel does no wrong with tweed >

 < Silky, satiny, slinkiness from Louis Vuitton >


< Fun, young playful looks from Kenzo- I love the powder blue colors! >

St. Patrick's Day decorations

 < Green and gold on the kitchen island >

There is no secret here on the 3P blog how much I love decorating for each and every season.  With March already here, the little Irish blood in me is happy to throw together a little celebration, St. Patty's style.  Here is just a peek at the green and gold St. Patrick's Day decorations around our house right now.
