March 8, 2020 – Stuffed Sweet Peppers

Hello Munchers!

I’d like to start with a deep appreciation for sticking with me during this (way too) long period of me getting my health under control. For well over a year now, I have been suffering from chronic migraines. So, between work and life requirements, by the time I got to everything else, I was “out of spoons.”

After months of trying different medications and dosages, of being a zombie, gaining 35 lbs in 3 weeks, and memory loss that has not quite righted itself, I am back to normal-ish. I still get them every so often, but they are few and far between compared to my daily ones.

Long story short, I am extremely grateful that you hung in there and I hope you are excited for some awesome recipes coming your way!

And now I give you….
