Italian Sausage and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Italian Sausage and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

I love recipes that are 1. delicious 2. easily customizable and 3. can withstand adding lots of extra veggies!. This stuffed pepper recipe fits all of these so well! Oh, and it also needs to make good leftovers. Yep, does that too.

This summer I have been going to the local farmer’s market more often and I’ve discovered some of the best, high-quality meats from one of the farms, Pastimes Farm and Bakery out of Lincoln, Missouri. If you’ve never thought about purchasing meat at your farmer’s market, I would encourage you to check it out. They often have grass-fed and pasture-raised meats at a competitive price. We have really been loving their Italian pork sausage, which is where I got the idea for the stuffed peppers. It is unbelievably flavorful and works perfectly in this recipe. We also love to use it for homemade pizza.

Almond Flour Banana Bread Muffins

Almond Flour Banana Bread Muffins

Muffins! Banana bread muffins that are gluten-free, made with almond flour, so perfectly moist and melt in your mouth! They are like little love muffins. I added a little candied pecan on top for some extra yum. I was originally working on a banana bread recipe (which you could totally do with this), but I love muffins and so here you have it.

Muffins are just so easy. You take one, break it in half, spread all the butter or peanut butter in the middle and you are set. Maybe grab one for breakfast on your way out the door or pack one in your lunch for a little sweet treat. Or, you eat them in one bite if you are like my husband.

Thai Peanut Spaghetti Squash Bowl

Thai Peanut Spaghetti Squash Bowl

Finally, I have another meal for you guys and this is a good one! It is easy to put together and is full of nutrients and big on flavor. The hardest part of this recipe is cutting the spaghetti squash. It’s like its own little arm workout in your kitchen. Then, you can get everything else ready while the spaghetti squash is cooking and you’ll be ready to roll when it’s done. Easy peasy, lime squeazy.

Please tell me you love Thai peanut flavor as much as I do. I’ve been using it with salads, on pizza and now with this Thai peanut spaghetti squash bowl. I love a good Thai peanut sauce and finally wrote it all down into a recipe for you. It may not be totally authentic, but it’s really good and doesn’t involve ingredients you will never use again. Like fish sauce. Have you ever smelled that stuff? Don’t do it. You’re welcome.
