If you like peppers and feta cheese, this will be your new favorite recipe. I know it is mine and my husbands’s for sure. Even my 3-year-old loves these stuffed mini peppers.
I am using sweet mini bell peppers, but you can use Anaheim chili peppers as well. Just remember you will need 1 egg per pepper.
End you don’t need salt. The feta cheese will be enough.
Ingredients
2lb Sweet mini peppers- 9oz Feta cheese
- 7 Eggs
- Oil
- Black pepper (optional)
Directions
- In a mixing bowl beat eggs and pepper until blended. Crumble the feta cheese and add to the eggs.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add 1-2 tbsp. oil.
- Cook the same way you would do scrambled eggs – 5 to 10 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat when the eggs are almost done. Let them cool down.
- To prepare the peppers cut the top off with a paring knife and scoop out the seeds and veins.
- Using a small spoon (or your fingers) and fill each pepper with the egg and feta cheese cheese mixture.
- Heat another large skillet over medium-high and add 1/4 cup of oil. When the oil is hot enough, place the filled peppers in the skillet.
- Turn on each side until they become golden.
- Place on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
- Serve hot or cold, as an appetizer or a main dish.
- Enjoy

Ingredients
- Potatoes
- Spring Onions
- Parsley
- Olive Oil
- Vinegar
- Salt
- Plack Pepper
Directions
- Boil the potatoes with the skin on. It is good to add some salt in the boiling water. That way the skin will peel easily.
- After the potatoes are ready, peel the skin and cut them in pieces.
- Add them in a salad bowl. Sprinkle with the chopped spring onion and parsley.
- Add salt, black pepper, oil and vinegar to taste.
- This easy and low calorie potato salad is a great side dish for steak or fish.
- Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 can white kidney beans
- 3 spring onions
- salt
- black pepper
- vinegar
- oil
Directions
- Drain the beans. I used white kidney beans from Trader Joe’s and they were great. You can also buy raw beans and boil them. But if you are in a hurry, canned beans are as good as the home made.
- Place them in a bowl and add the chopped green onions. Add salt, black pepper, oil and vinegar.
- Mix and serve – and easy and tasty bean salad.
- Enjoy!
Ingredients
- Carrots
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Italian Seasoning
- Olive Oil
Directions
- This is a great snack option if you want something salty and healthy. So much better for your body than chips.
- In this recipe I used baby carrots, but regular carrots should work as well. Cut the baby carrots in half and if they are too thick – cut the half again.
- In a mixing bowl put all carrot slices and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and black pepper. Add seasoning of your choice – in this case I used Italian seasoning. But you can add pepper flakes, rosemary, sage, etc.
- Mix them well and place in a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 425F. Bake for 20min or until lightly golden.
- Enjoy your meal alone, or as a side dish to steak or fish.
This is my first applesauce I’ve tried and I love it. I make it as a dessert or as a side dish for pork chops. It is so much better and healthier than the one you buy in stores.
