Stuffed Red Peppers

My daughters and I love finding fun recipes on Pinterest! But most of all, we want to find out if they taste as good as they look. As a little side note to that last comment, as you can tell from the photo collage at the end of this post, I'm no photographer! I do like to take pictures, but I definitely need quite a bit of work! But that's not what this post is about. Tonight we made stuffed red peppers. 

The original post for the stuffed peppers came from Shape.com. I was searching for some low-carb recipes and came across this. Her picture is much better than mine... as you can see below. Doesn't that just look like something you'd want to make! Well we thought so! 


We thought it would be fun to start documenting the pins we try and give it a short review. I'll also add anything we did differently from the original recipe.



Ease of Recipe

Easy, in my opinion. The most time consuming thing was chopping the vegetables. No biggie.

Flavor

Good flavor. It could have used more salt, pepper, and garlic. But other than that, very good.

What We Did Differently

The only thing we did differently was add cheese while it baked. It didn't say to do that but it looks like it's done in the photo, so we did.

Will We Make Them Again?

Yes! My husband loved them and was happy to get something a little different from the norm. We will add the extra ingredients mentioned above.

Cassie & LaMar's Wedding Cake

I'm still waiting for the photos taken at Cassie and LaMar's reception but I did take a few myself. I wish I'd taken more but I was a little busy with other things :)

A sweet lady from our church, Carla, made the cake. Once it arrived, I had to snap a picture of it! She did a beautiful job. She doesn't typically do buttercream frosting (she prefers fondant) but in my humble opinion, you'd never know it! We all loved the way it turned out, and it tasted as good as it looked.



I mean, seriously! Pretty impressive, I think!


We had her make cupcakes and cake pops as well. Still waiting on the pics for the pops.


Lastly, we had a grooms cake made. It was a surprise for LaMar from Cassie. He likes Captain America... so there you go!

I hope Carla will be around for many more weddings to come! Great job and thanks so much!!

Cassie and LaMar - For Time and All Eternity



We had a wedding in our family a few weeks ago. Our beautiful daughter, Cassie, married a good, kind, and worthy young man, LaMar. March 8 is their anniversary and what a lovely day it was. We had a little rain, but from what we heard, that's a good thing.

We are truly happy for both of them and pray they will receive all the blessings Heavenly Father has prepared for them. We love you both!

"And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Matthew 19:5-6
