What can I do with...sweet peppers?



Recommended Posts

An update: I roasted some and used them as a base for tuna salad with cheese for lunch. I broiled a steak for dinner and added some peppers to the pan to roast at the same time.

Thanks for the ideas. Keep them coming!

personally im a big fan of Breakfast ideas. a quick par boil , then prepare turkey sausage meat, to about 1/2 way done with 1/2 onion diced , mushrooms if you like em, and then here's the fun part, use any spice you like, take it south of the border with some cilantro cumin and chili powder, or go Asian with some lite soy sauce and some Sriracha, or even some small cubed tofu, go Italian with some oregano fresh basil and a little parmesan cheese. Basically stuff the peppers 3/4 way, then bake at 365 for 1/2 hour. here's the second fun part ,. top with and then you can top with a fried egg or some scrambled egg then, pepper jack or the like, for Mexican, mozzarella for Italian, something sharp for Asian etc,

Breakfast stuffed peppers, although pack it in the amount you would eat, as i know we all hate wasting but they make great leftovers.

Now if you don't want to bother with the stuffing part just slice up he peppers, mix em with the sausage onion , mushrooms, spices mixture then plop that fried egg of top or scrambled on top add cheese and bingo!

My hubby loves this easy crockpot recipe from The Recipe Critic. Com for Stuffed Peppers . 15 min or less prep time,uses uncooked burger, uncle bens quick rice, etc , pop them in the crockpot on low, just check them an hour before the time it says to cook them as some crockpot s cook hotter than others . Enjoy !

i put equal parts sweet(or hot)peppers and onions in the food processor(do each alone) grind until fairly fine, add salt and ground cumin and store in the frig as a raw relish. mix into chicken or tuna salad, a spoonful on eggs, mix with greek yogurt as a dip for veggies. will keep several weeks in a glass jar in the frig.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
