Recipe!! Indian Stuffed Peppers

-


Hey guys! Today I wanted to share with you a stuffed pepper recipe. The thing about stuffed peppers is that they are extremely versatile. There are so many different kinds of stuffed peppers to try. Growing up, my Grandma used to make an Italian stuffed pepper. In culinary school I learned to make Greek stuffed peppers, Mexican stuffed peppers and even some American stuffed peppers. Most traditional stuffed peppers have meat  or animal products in them but it is not to had to convert it to a veggie friendly dish!

The secret is the seasoning! This stuffed pepper is no different. This recipe is an Indian inspired stuffed pepper. The other swap I made in this recipe was the rice. Instead of using rice for this I used cauliflower pearls. Cauliflower pearls make a great swap for rice in many dishes if you are looking for a lower carb option. If you are counting calories this is also a great option. Cauliflower is extremely low in calories.

What is your favorite stuffed pepper recipe? Did you try this one? What did you think? Let me know in the comments below!

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
