Vegetarian Stuffed Pepper Recipes that Even Meat Eaters will Love
What's the easiest switch you can make for the environment? Eat less meat!
On Mondays, we are exploring vegetarian meals for meat eaters. Cooking with seasonal vegetables can seem really limiting at first, but the possibilities are endless. And it is worth it. Just cutting one day of meat eating out of our diet can keep thousands of tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere a year. No seriously, it's that big a deal. Cutting down on fish (and only eating sustainable fish) can also help with our huge plastic problem, because plastic fishing nets are the largest source of plastic in our oceans. The production of fish and meat come at a huge environmental cost, and we are simply eating too much.
Plus, it's a great opportunity to have some new adventures and try new things. Just another way to take care of the planet AND make life a little bit better!
Stuffed Peppers are a perfect fall meal. They actually kind of remind me of a hug, so simple and warm. They also make a perfect vegetarian meal (even for meat eaters) because they can be so filling. When you eat a whole stuffed pepper, you feel stuffed too!

How about a spicy one? These stuffed peppers look like serious business, especially when you consider they are from a site called Chili Pepper Madness. Try it for someone who loves hot wings and see if this is a fun (and healthy) alternative?
