I don’t know if you remember from last week or not, but I love peppers.

HERE’s the proof, though it’s not a pepper recipe but a rather a pepper commentary. I’m complicated like that. Anyway, I really really like them and I buy them every single week and what do I do with them? I cut them up and eat them raw like the boring foodie that I have become.

Yes. Depressing. I am aware.

I used to be more adventurous but lately, I have been in a rut, just eating convenience foods and getting thick. Then I had a really huge change happen in life and BAM! I’m ready to get things cookin’ (if you know what I mean) and take charge of my food and my life.

If you *don’t* know what I mean…I meant cooking figuratively and literally because I will be working to make my life better and also cooking actual food. 

SO the first thing I did was get back to my regimen of keeping a to-do list and actually getting stuff done. My God, I did not know the ecstasy that is having clean, folded laundry for work every single day! AND I’ve been eating right, exercising and waking up at a decent hecking hour which makes that whole to-do list bull a lot less difficult.

Oh, and I made this mind-blowing dish out of my beloved peppers….

Mozzarella Stuffed Peppers

with Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce

Pin it!📌

The beauty of this recipe is that you probably have everything in your home already.

1. Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks-If you don’t have them then what exactly are you doing with your life?
2. Sundried Tomatoes- Keep them in your fridge always. Non-negotiable.
3. Sour Cream- Same.
4. Parmesan Cheese- Samezies

Which leaves mini peppers and fresh basil. Probably, you should buy those too.

When assembling these, you don’t have to get all the seeds out because they are soft and baby seeds.

Cut off the end, stick in the cheese and trim it just below the rim.

Shoving some basil and sundried tomato in there is optional.

Start the sauce by mixing the saucy ingredients and turning on the heat until it melts together. Slow and steady! Add both the peppers and a lid.

Once it’s nearly ready, remove the lid and pop that pretty little dish under the broiler for a few to really brown the parmesan. Sprinkle with italian seasoning and DONE. How can this be any more simple?
