My go to yummy hearty dinner recipe is Stuffed Bell Peppers.  I used to make them with ground turkey, but then I started dating an adorable vegetarian so we had to make a minor adjustment to the ingredients, but the flavor and taste and the way the kitchen smelled while they baked…absolutely mouth-watering.  I also used to make Stuffed Bell Peppers the traditional way, you know, chop off the little hats and stuff them standing upright and then put the little hats back on and ta-da.  Well, when they taste as good as I make them, you want to get the yummy goodness ASAP. Hence, chop those bad boys in half and you have cute little boats.  Makes perfect sense.
