Beef and Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers
These stuffed peppers with rice are worth a try! Ninety-four percent of all stuffed bell peppers are made because there's leftover rice around. You can adjust this recipe in many different ways: the herbs, the meat, etc. Any ground meat works: lamb, pork, or an equal mixture of sausage and beef is fantastic. I used lean beef, but I recommend trying 1 pound beef with 1/2 pound pork sausage.
Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes
These pineapple upside down cupcakes are great to make for family gatherings or as treats to pack into lunches. It's an easy recipe; adaptations can be made to make this completely from scratch. This is just a yummy simplified version!
Apple Pear Sauce
Pear applesauce? Papplesauce? Appearsauce? When the apple-pear sauce is served warm, you will not need any additional sugar. As it cools it loses some of the natural sweetness, and you might want to add sugar to taste.
