VeganMoFo - Halloweegan Stuffed Peppers!

VeganMoFo has taken over the world! So many posts, so little time! I don't want to miss anyone's posts! I want to read all of them! It's been so much fun reading about everyone's stories and anecdotes, collecting awesome recipes, and even learning about intriguing German foods that I'd never heard of before (thank you Mihl!).

Let's get this Halloweegan party started! Today I made more phonies-pumpkin phonies. See, tomorrow is grocery shopping day, which means today the refrigerator looks quite empty and sad. We were going to have an Improper Cottage Pie for dinner, but then I wouldn't have had anything to post for Halloweegan! So I was trying to figure out what to do, when I saw the bell peppers looking at me, lonely in the veggie drawer. They just wanted to make themselves useful, so I picked them up and we had bell peppers stuffed with the improper cottage pie mince and croutons. I carved their faces like jack-o'-lanterns before I stuffed them. Boo!

I love'em! You can make your favorite stuffed pepper recipe and all you have to do to make them Halloweegan friendly is carve them before you stuff them. Of course the orange ones are even more "Halloween-y", but multicolor peppers are fun too!
