weekend review: stuffed

 Figure 1. Before hitting the grill: stuffed mini bell peppers. These peppers were stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, Greek yogurt, green onions, shallots, cilantro, and lime juice and were absolutely amazing. (Note: I followed the above linked recipe exactly except I subbed Greek yogurt for the sour cream. Worked beautifully).

Figure 2. Saturday night's dinner: jerk chicken and stuffed mini bell peppers, long grain & wild rice, and roasted broccoli.

Figure 3. Sunday night's dinner: spring vegetable carbonara and a lemony arugula salad. I ate so much of this pasta (because it was good and I was just in that mood) that, when I finally stopped, I was stuffed. Fitting, no?

  6. Ooh I love the idea of those stuffed peppers! I hate peppers on their own (I'm really weird, I know) but I've had them stuffed before and for some reason I like that, so I can't wait to try!
