Stuffed.

 

    I just got back to Shenandoah after 3-weeks visiting my home-base in MN. After much $$$$ spent at the grocery store, I had a fully stocked kitchen again along with all the ingredients to cook. I decided to have some dear friends over and cook a meal. I thought I would make use of one of my healthy cook books...meal on the menu for the evening: Stuffed Peppers! (*I truly got the insight of how rewarding and nice a meal is that took time to cook from scratch...waiting makes the tummy fonder. Not to mention I hadn't eaten all day*).
    On the social side, it was so nice seeing these girls again, and it was a good quality time listening to music, talking, and cooking this meal. Super easy to make, and quite possibly one of the best tasting things I have ever made. The best thing too...no dipping sauce is needed, there is enough flavor in it. AND...it is healthy for you!
