Jack-O'-Lantern Stuffed Bell Peppers
By lalala...
These cute Jack-o'-lantern peppers, with black bean stuffing, are perfect for Halloween dinner. This recipe is vegetarian but could be made with a more traditional ground beef stuffing mix. They are delicious either way.

Great way to start the day of Halloween! Fry two pieces of bacon in a skillet. Drain on paper towels. Cut each bacon slice in half; arrange the four pieces in an "X" shape on a small plate.

I needed to make a chocolate dessert for dinner guests. While shopping, I started thinking, I found fudge pudding, Oreos, cool whip and more... chocolate heaven!

These make really light and fluffy pancakes. I am going to freeze the rest for great breakfasts on busy mornings.

It is sweet potato season and I love it! One of my favourite ways to use up sweet potato is inside this warm and comforting rice dish. It's really easy to make and creates a great side for any entree. I used a rice cooker here but you can use whatever method you usually cook your rice.

Use 1:1 ratio mixture of sugar and salt as a substitute ingredient to your recipe instead of MSG. This is safer to use, especially if you have children at home.
