i love stuffed peppers. they are not something however i make all the time (but if you look here  you can find anther recipe).

we made these a couple weekends ago. a majority of my family eat mainly vegetarian. when they come over to visit i like to come up with creative vegetarian ideas on meat based meals. the more time i spend in the kitchen the better i am getting at it.

this is a great option for meatless monday. it makes a great dinner (for even meat eaters), serve with a side of salad and some garlic bread.

happy meatless monday!
