When I got home I decided to go for a treasure hunt in the cabinets to see what I had to make with them. My biggest challenge in the kitchen is always to trying to see what I can make with what I have at home. Some people love to run out for ingredients but that makes me crazy. I try to do groceries once a week and plan my meals with I have in my home. You can always substitute something for something else or leave it out.

How To Prepare the Peppers

I like to prepare my peppers by cutting the top of the pepper from the top. I like the look of serving it with a little hat on top.

  1. Cut the pepper from the top.
  2. Rinse in cold water and remove all the seeds.
  3. Let dry on a towel so the inside is facing down.
  4. Once the peppers are dry, place in a glass pan and sprinkle some olive oil inside along with some garlic powder.

Tip

Try buying different colors peppers for a colorful meal setting.

One of the things I always recommend is to cook extra rice and freeze it. You can always pull it out to make stuffings such as the Mexican Stuffed Peppers.
