Kennedy bedroom is now ready and I am counting down the days till we are at the hospital and I become a dad for the first time.

Stuffed bell peppers is another one of those comfort dishes that I really enjoy making. This recipe is enough to cook four but I only did two and used the food saver for the rest of the filling.

With that being said, LET’S COOK!
