We love Mediterranean food and Greek salad is one of our favorite dishes. It is just so colorful, delicious and flavorful, it makes eating a plate full of healthy goodness easy to do, even for those who normally don’t like to eat vegetables.

This recipe is pretty forgiving though, so feel free to substitute whatever ground meat you may have on hand. You can also use rice like our moms did if couscous isn’t available.  Continue reading “Stuffed Peppers [RECIPE]”
