I had no plans for Saturday night dinner.
The day had passed in the blink of an eye. There was still work to finish up on the computer, decorations to put out, laundry to do and groceries to put away.
As I began putting away the fruits, the squash, the peppers and the rest of the veggies, I saw in the refrigerator a package of Italian sausage and thought stuffed peppers!

Hi Catherine:)
Stuffed Peppers have saved many a dinner night for me. Even if I haven't taken any meat out of the freezer, there's always rice in the house and other fixins' Lately I've been adding Quinoa which is a nice touch.
Can you tell we love Stuffed Peppers around here, lol...I love the notion of Rye bread too. I must try that. We always have Rye bread in the house too, lol...
Thank you so much for sharing, Catherine...I'm sure your dinner was absolutely dee..li...cious...
