BTW, stuffed bell peppers are also awesome on the grill, if you get a chance.

I love to make stuffed peppers with rice-a-roni and a bit of ground beef if you have it. Yours look tasty with all the cheese!

Stuffed peppers, as well as calzone, are Italian peasant food created to make use of leftovers and scraps on the verge of being inedible. Some of the best calzones I’ve ever had were from a restaurant that boldly stated that “we stuff them with whatever is leftover from yesterday.”

Personally, I prefer a bread stuffed pepper to rice or meat. My grandmother made the BEST stuffed peppers. She kept a bag in the freezer and added bread ends and bits going stale. When she had a full bag, she’d take them out, make crumbs and get stuffing. The superiority of her crumbs, which is what made the peppers awesome, was in that they weren’t all the same kind of bread. Little rye, little wheat, sour dough, whatever she’d managed to accummulate, it was all in there.

What a creative idea with the peppers! I would have never thought of that, but it looks good. I’ll bet a Spanish rice stuffed pepper would be delicious as well, especially with some chicken or ground beef added to the rice and cheese.

Thinking about the Celsius tea that you had a few days ago… would you be able to work in a box of tea bags into your budget? You could probably get one cheaply/free at CVS with your ECBs and then would could make yourself iced tea to have on occasion, sweetened with whatever juice you have on hand.

Next time you make the stuffed peppers, if you mix cheese into the rice while cold you will get better flavor. You are doing great, cant wait to see what you do next.

I found your website through this post on Sunday:
http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/frugality/the-challenge-eating-for-31-days-on-31-122783
and I was intrigued so I read all your posts from Day 1 onwards.

It’s great that you’re not only succeeding in the challenge of eating well on $1 a day, you’re also improving your cooking skills dramatically, and you’re proving that anyone can help the food banks!

I live in the Netherlands, Europe, where coupons for groceries barely exist. Also, the coupons we do have always state that they cannot be used in conjunction with any other promotions. It’s impossible to get free items here, let alone to make money on the transaction!

I would love to live in the USA just for couponing alone, I’d have so much fun figuring out the best way to beat the system.

Keep up the good work!
