The colder months of the year gives us reasons to eat more comfort foods and to use our ovens more often. Who wants to use their oven in the summer, am I right. Even thought Thanksgiving is over, turkey is a healthy to red meat that can be enjoyed all through the year.
I was really excited to make these stuffed peppers that are Whole 30 compliant since I’m on the program now. Even the hubby enjoyed them and that’s saying something as he doesn’t like turkey all that much.
These are really quick to put together and make for a weekend dinner or after work. Even your kids will be asking for more.
