Stuf'd.

Peppers, that is.

Stuffed peppers are a tricky way of eating half of an entire vegetable while still accommodating the cheese food group. That, my dear friends, is tricky business.

And what's the cheese du jour? BLEU! That bleu cheese, he's a fun guy. Fungi. Get it? I need a vacation.

Can you see this?

Why aren't you ALREADY making these? They are so cheesey and still nutritious! Whole grain, vegetables, lean protein, and the ever important cheese food group. Priorities, people. This is your health we are talking about.

Make some pita garlic bread to go with, too, k?
