Depression Peppers

My great grandmother handed this down,along with the reasoning behind why did she always serve this up as stuffed peppers when I was small. It uses sliced peppers! I was so confused when I seen a real stuffed pepper for the first time. But this version she explained was how they could get the flavor of stuffed peppers but make it stretch much further. Guess when? During the depression era. My son thought up this name we now call it. Depression peppers. And inadvertently my grandmother passed along a simple to make inexpensive and tasty meal that everyone I've served it to loves it. Hope you do as well.

#losingweightWeightoss is not just counting calories. The kind of food that we consume matters a lot. We know that certain foods aid in weight loss while certain foods are fattening. But some foods when paired together with other foods make a killer combination that zaps fat! One such combination is ' Potatoes and Peppers'. Just because carbs are characterised as unhealthy, potatoes are hated for weight loss. They are actually a great hunger curbing food that aid your weight loss goal. The potassium in potatoes help to get rid of bloating( water retention). But they need to be paired and prepared cautiously ie. without fat.( butter or oil).
