HERBED FETA STUFFED MINI BELL PEPPERS
I recently got two pounds of mini bell peppers at Costco, and after eating about half of them raw (yum! they're so sweet and tasty!) we got to the point where I needed to find something else to do with them. Here's what I came up with, and having just eaten one, I can assure you they're absolutely delicious! These can be either baked (which I usually do), or eaten uncooked.

Steps:
- Cut the tops off the mini bell peppers and take out the seeds and larger white veins; rinse out with water, then set aside.
- Put the crumbled feta cheese in a bowl and add the sherry; toss to coat.
- Mix together well the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, then add the mixture to the feta cheese and toss to mix them all well.
- Spray a large casserole dish (I use a large oval white Corning Ware) with an olive oil mister or pan spray.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Stuff each mini bell pepper with the herbed feta mixture, making sure there's a good amount of feta in each pepper; place peppers in the casserole dish.
- When all peppers are stuffed, place cover on casserole dish and bake in oven for 30 to 45 minutes until peppers are nice and soft and the cheese is melted. If too much of the cheese melts out of the peppers, use a spoon to put it back in. :)
- Serve and enjoy!
MINI STUFFED PEPPERS
Think jalapeno poppers but healthier and you control the heat. I wanted to keep it light and vegetarian but feel free to add crumbled cooked turkey bacon to the mix, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right mini bell peppers: Look for mini bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and about 2 inches in diameter. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Prep the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Be careful not to cut too close to the bottom of the peppers, or they will fall apart.
- Make sure the filling is flavorful: The filling is what will make your stuffed mini bell peppers special, so take the time to make it flavorful. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and cheeses to create a filling that is both delicious and visually appealing.
- Don't overstuff the peppers: When stuffing the peppers, be careful not to overstuff them. The filling should be packed tightly, but there should still be some room for the peppers to expand as they cook.
- Cook the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the type of filling you are using. Cook the peppers until they are tender, but still slightly firm.
