Friday, June 22, 2012


Recently, while Pinteresting (yeah, that MUST be a word, lol), I ran into this recipe -- SOOOOOO glad I did because it introduced me to Kyndra Holley's blog Peace, Love and Low Carb. This girl can cook and has some super recipes on her blog -- I could hardly wait to make these wonderful peppers -- they are my new FAV low carb recipe. THANK YOU Kyndra!! Of course, I had to diddle with the recipe a bit -- I LOVE red peppers, so that is how I made mine -- red and green peppers - so yummy!
