It’s National Rice Month,and we’re celebrating with this delicious Spicy Stuffed Pepper Soup made with U.S.-grown long grain white rice. #sponsored .
Rice remains a staple item in our home because it’s extremely versatile and nutrient-rich. Did you know that U.S.-grown rice contributes more than 15 vitamins and minerals, including folic acid and other B-vitamins, as well as iron and zinc? And it’s comprised of complex carbohydrates that are more slowly digested and provide energy that fuels the body’s physical activity. Impressive, right?!
For this Spicy Stuffed Pepper Soup, I used long grain white rice, which has a firmer and fluffier texture due to its higher amylose content—making it the perfect companion for pilafs, stir-fry, & soups. When making this recipe, I recommend using a rice cooker, especially a Zojirushi. Their new induction heating rice cooker is the latest in rice cooking technology! It’s really easy to use,and my rice turns out perfect every time. Check out the full recipe below! @think_rice @zojirushiamerica #thinkrice #nationalricemonth
Ingredients:
· 2 lbs ground Italian sausage
· 1 tablespoon olive oil
· 3 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 onion, chopped
· 2 red bell peppers, sliced
· 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
· 1 green bell pepper, sliced
· 1 (28oz) can crushed tomatoes
· 1 cup diced tomatoes
· 3 cups beef broth
· ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
· ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
· ½ teaspoon fennel seed
· 1 teaspoon Italian spice seasoning
· Salt/pepper to taste
· 2 ½ cups cooked U.S.-grown rice
Instructions
1. In a large pot on medium-high heat, add the oil, ground Italian sausage, garlic, and onions. Cook until the meat is just browned.
2. Next, add in the bell peppers, crushed and diced tomatoes, beef broth, and seasonings.
3. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the peppers are soft.
4. Add in the cooked rice and season with salt/pepper to taste. Continue to cook for a couple more minutes. If you prefer a thinner soup, an add more beef broth. The cooked rice tends to absorb a good amount of the broth.
5. Serve warm, and top with parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!

Out of curiosity, I did a quick Google search and typed in "What to do if you're hungry?" The search results were incredibly shocking 😲
.
There were several articles suggesting chewing several pieces of gum, eating ice, or taking a walk to combat hunger....very few of those search results recommended eating as a solution! Being that we live in a diet culture obsessed society, I shouldn't be that surprised, but I was 😔. And the sad part is that I was given this same advice when I was younger to "help" me lose weight. Spoiler alert: It didn't work!
.
.
Ignoring hunger signals can result in a very unhealthy relationship with food and deprive your body from several important nutrients. It doesn't matter if it's after 7pm or if you've already eaten a serving of food...if you continue to experience hunger signals, eat something. Preferably something that contains satisfying ingredients such as fiber, protein, and a source of healthy fats.
.
.
For those who may be struggling with serious conditions, such as an eating disorder or disordered eating patterns, or for those who may have limited access to food...I completely understand that being told to "eat" is not as easy as it seems. And in those cases, a detailed nutrition intervention may need to be implemented and/or additional resources may need to be provided, but for the vast majority of us who have fallen victim to diet culture, listen to your body and eat something if you're hungry. Don't ignore those important signals.

Diet culture had me in a ch🚫kehold for several years. I would feel guilty for eating foods that I enjoyed and as a result, it ruined my relationship with food. It took some time, but I slowly found my way to food freedom. If you're struggling to break up with diet culture, consider this your sign and do it today! You've got this!!

Did you know that it's okay to eat after 7pm??
.
Despite diet culture's toxic rules and guidelines, it's perfectly okay to enjoy a late night snack if you want.
.
.
If your body is unable to handle eating during those late night hours due to GI discomfort, then I completely understand not eating during that time, but if you're avoiding eating after 7pm to adhere to society’s unrealistic "health standards," then I strongly encourage you to reconsider your decision!
.
.
If you're craving a late night snack, do your body a favor and eat something. As a dietitian, I recommend eating a snack that contains a source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats to help keep you satisfied until your next meal. Satisfying a growling tummy before bed can even help to improve sleep.
