I stuffed some peppers with brown rice and lentils and simmered in a sauce made from fresh tomatoes, carrots, celery, bell pepper and herbs.

    These look super good! I have a little PPTSD (Post Pepper Traumatic Stress Disorder) from stuffed peppers: a few weeks ago my mom asked if my fiancee and I wanted them when we were visiting for dinner. I figured she’d make 2-4, since bell peppers upset my parents’ stomachs and they were just for me and my SO. She made 12 absolutely massive ones, took up a whole casserole dish, each was softball sized, and they were stuffed with quinoa and rice for maximum carbs. We had to eat all of them, as we don’t waste food in our house. My fiancee and I ate stuffed pepper every day for a whole week, multiple times a day, since there were so many and they were so big and calorie dense.

    Just Egg for breakfast? Fry up a half a pepper each. Tacos? Side of stuffed pepper. Barbecue? Stuffed pepper. Ice cream? Stuffed pepper for dessert. Walking through the kitchen? Take a bite of pepper.

      haha I know that feeling of made too much. Luckily these were small locally grown peppers. This was enough for 2 people with some left overs and not a flood!
