Stuffed Peppers and Zucchini
I personally do not like bell peppers. I like just about any other kind of pepper, but there’s something about bell pepper that just rubs me the wrong way. I think it’s genetic - my sister feels the same way.
Of course, the other member of this household LOVES bell peppers. There is a constant conflict due to this, and due to the fact that I love mushrooms and he doesn’t. He disparingly refers to mushrooms as fungi, with a sneer and a turn up of the nose.
To continuously show that I am the better person, I make things with bell peppers all the time, while disregarding my yen for mushrooms. I’m applying for sainthood soon.
And with that, a true summer meal - Stuffed peppers and and zucchini with corn on the cob and sliced tomatoes along side.
Recipe as follows:
Ingredients:
2 large bell peppers, halved, innards removed
1 large zucchini, halved, innards removed
1 lb ground sirloin, crumbled and cooked through
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup tomato sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Shredded cheese
Heat oven to 375
Combine beef, garlic, rice, tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stuff in vegetable shells. Place on cooking pan, sprayed with cooking oil. Sprinkle with cheese. Cook 20 minutes.

Irene, this post made me laugh to no end… very funny and droll… I can relate about the peppers — I could not stand the sight/ smell/ taste of green peppers at one point (though reds, yellows & oranges were ok to me). Yours look so yummy! I personally think you should go on ahead and make yourself a mushroom dish.
