"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."- Virginia Woolf
You know what's so great about having foodie friends? Inspiring each other to try new foods! In my own experience, I think my friends and I discuss food more than we talk about boys and relationships. It's just more fun to talk about different kinds of foods, healthy and for comfort. When we're tired from work, food is our go-to. When we're heartbroken and frustrated in general, we turn to food to mend all the broken pieces. We laugh and drink and eat as merrily as Hobbits. Truly. But then again, as is normal to almost everyone, we also have a love/hate relationship with food. Especially after a few days or weeks of hearty meals and the scale declares there's extra baggage that needs to be dealt with.
My friend Becky and I are so compatible in so many ways. We're both health-conscious, who love yoga and running. We both love to cook and meal prep is a must activity for us. We love trying new restaurants and more importantly, since we both cook, we love trying out new recipes. She mentioned that she was making stuffed peppers and since I've never made stuffed peppers before, I just new I should add it to my (growing) list of recipes. So, here goes.
