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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
