Stuffed Acorn Squash

With grocery prices skyrocketing around here, I’ve really been trying to shop for some of the cheaper produce even if we’ve never tried them before. Last week I picked up a couple of acorn squash… I mean we do like most squashes so I figured we would like them too.

Pepper Poppers

This is a recipe we make quite a bit. One of my older sons actually brought some sweet mini peppers to the house one day and made the poppers with the sweet peppers instead of the usual jalapenos and they were AMAZING!

One of the younger boys loves to make these so he takes on the task of getting them ready for the oven whenever we need to make them.
