whatcha do:

  • preheat oven to 350F

  • in a pot big enough for 4 bell peppers, add your 4 whole, uncut, bell peppers; fill with water. heat on high until the water begins to boil.

  • remove from heat, you don’t want them to be too mushy, they have to bake still.

  • take your peppers out of the water, chop the tops off and gut them.

  • you’ll need a casserole type dish or a bankable pot thats at least as tall at the bell peppers to bake them in once they are stuffed

  • OKAY now for the stuffing :

    • sauté diced onion until they’re soft

    • add 1 diced bell pepper

    • add diced tomatoes

    • sprinkle with salt for taste

    • dump all of this into a large mixing bowl

    • no need to clean the pan, drizzle with olive oil and cook your pealed shrimp

    • once cooked chop up the shrimp and add to the mixing bowl with the rest of the goods

    • SAME pan once again, evoo, sauté veggie meat until its no longer frozen

    • add the jar of sauce to the meat

    • when its warm, remove from heat and add to the bowl

    • STIR THAT BOWL

  • at this point you have your topless peppers in your baking dish

  • spoon the contents of the mixing bowl into your peppers

  • option to add provolone cheese on top of your peppers

  • cover each pepper with the top that you cut off

  • cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil

  2. 1 can lite coconut cream

  3. blender or food processor

whatcha do:

  • add peaches and coconut cream to your blender or food processor.
