This past Saturday, it was cold, rainy, and dreary. The kind of day where you want to cozy up on the couch in your sweats with a fuzzy blanket and eat a warm bowl of soup. I’m not talking about watery canned soup – I’m talking about a thick, creamy soup that is hearty AND […]

As a kid growing up, I was not a stuffed pepper fan. At all. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I realized I really do like stuffed peppers, just not green stuffed peppers. Once I started making them with red, orange, or yellow sweet bell peppers, it was a complete game changer […]
