Stuffed Peppers with Cauliflower Rice
Sandi V found this fabulous recipe on one of the sites that Jayne found for us a while ago. Annette made these for us a few months back and they came out fantastic. They are so easy to make and really are a meal all by themselves. Enjoy!

2 Tbsp. Grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp. Italian seasoning (I use oregano, basil, and parsley) (You can also make this using Mexican spices instead – cumin, cilantro, and taco seasoning)
