MAKE ME STUFFED PEPPERS
2 large green peppers, halved lengthwise
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup onion, chopped, 1 1/4 ounces
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato, chopped, about 2 ounces
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping

In a large pot, bring about half a potful of water to a boil. Add the peppers and boil for 3 minutes; drain. In the same pot, brown the hamburger, onion and garlic. Drain the fat and stir in the tomatoes and seasonings. Cook until the tomatoes are hot; remove from the heat and stir in the 4 ounces of cheese. Put the pepper halves in a greased 8x8" baking pan and fill with the meat mixture. Sprinkle the extra cheese on top, if using. Bake at 350º for 20-25 minutes.

There are also several other flavors like wasabi, I can't remember the others...

Okay, I don't really have much, but I'm going to try here. I don't really cook, maybe on a Sunday night and have that throughout the week This past week I cooked cabbage soup. Cabbage, carrots, celery and cucumber - no salt! Then just cooked it for a few hours and it's delicious!

I also went to the grocery store and stocked up on lettuce, strawberries, mangos, oranges, apples, frozen veggies, sweet potatoes and bananas and cheese. (I'm a vegetarian, so don't know what's up with meat

I checked out every dressing there is...for no carb, I found...mustard (lots of varieties), horseradish, sesame oil, rice vinegar and hot sauce. They had high fiber low carb tortillas too that have more than 4g of fiber per serving.

Also, I personally love smoothies - I'm making one this morning with bananas, strawberries, mangos and some almond milk.

Oh, and one more I haven't tried yet..my friend advised me...firm tofu pressed, sliced and sprinkled with sesame oil and then bake.

I'm kinda like you "aksunshine", I don't really follow recipes. That being said, here is a meal I had that I loved
