Green Peppers are one of those vegetables that taste great raw or cooked. I like all colors of peppers, green, red, orange, and yellow, as a raw vegetable used in salads, or with dips. I also would like to share this recipe for peppers served hot, as a main course, or as a side dish. Peppers, like cabbage rolls, may be stuffed with meat or vegetable stuffing, so I selected the rice/mushroom stuffing for this recipe.
Here is another recipe for my vegetarian friends, and one I like preparing for my family on meatless days, especially during Lent. It requires only a few ingredients and is quick and simple to prepare unless you decide to make homemade pasta, which I did for this recipe (making your own pasta is much easier than you probably imagine). This recipe serves 4-6.
Mini Quiches are the perfect addition to your family’s breakfast menu or a group brunch.
You can make them vegetarian, or add your favorite meat, such as bacon chips, cooked ground turkey, ham, Italian Sausage, etc.
The Great Lent begins on Monday, as it always does for the Byzantine Rite Catholics.
The Great Lent for Roman Catholics does not start until Ash Wednesday, so they have two extra days to enjoy meat meals. They also celebrate a very traditional Fat Thursday, when they enjoy their delicious “Paczki”, doughnuts.
I personally like to prepare meatless meals on Wednesdays and Fridays for the duration of the Great Lent, as well as during the full Holy Week, which is the week just before Easter Sunday.
These dumplings are almost a complete meal in itself, since you have the potatoes, the meat, plus add your favorite gravy, or a savory tomato sauce, and dinner is ready.
