My favorite type of food is Mexican. If I could eat burritos, beans and tacos every night I’d be a happier woman. This summer our garden was literally overflowing with peppers and tomatoes so I had to modify lots of our existing everyday recipes to accomodate the abundance of produce that was growing. I usually make stuffed bell peppers with an Italian influence but the cubanelles felt more ethic to me. The flavor of them cooked was much better than raw so I knew I had to get them in the oven. Hope you like!!!
