Lentil Stuffed Peppers #SundaySupper

March 9, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 65 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today for #SundaySupper our mission was to make a meatless meal.  I have no problem with that considering I make meatless meals all of the time.  But I gave myself a little mission, make a meatless meal and see if my Husband will eat it.  So today’s recipe is Lentil Stuffed Peppers.  One thing I have to tell you first; is that my Husband LOVES my beef stuffed peppers, it’s one of his favorite meals of all times, next to homemade chicken noodle soup.  So can I get a way with making one of his favorite meals with lentils?
Lentil Stuffed Peppers
Here’s the story:   I skipped my afternoon workout and started to prepare dinner right away, so my Husband wouldn’t catch me cooking. After all, I didn’t want him to see the lentils. I already had my peppers boiled and ready to be stuffed and I was making my mixture, but didn’t add the lentils yet and guess who comes home early from work? My Husband! He walked in the door and said, your making stuffed peppers? They smell delicious! I said yes I am! Normally when he comes home from work he plops down on the couch and turns the TV on, but not tonight! He got a car magazine in the mail and decided to sit in the kitchen to read it. Sigh… So I carefully snuck my lentils into my mixture, turned my back from him and stuffed those peppers. I quickly covered them and put them in the oven. When they were done, I plated it and gave my Husband a pepper. He said, it looks good! He cut it open and said what are those balls in it? I said lentils. He said ahhhhhh, I thought you were making regular stuffed peppers? What a waste of a good pepper. I said just eat it. He must not have been able to resist the smell because normally he would have said I’m not eating it, but he finished cutting it up and he ate it. Honestly, I was shocked. I didn’t say a word to him about the peppers.   If I brought up the pepper he would have moaned and groaned. But you know what? He ate it all! The plate was practically licked clean! Him eating it, is a HUGE compliment. Will I make these again? You bet! But I need to do it far in between for him. I can only give him so many food surprises or I will get too much push back. So to make it up to him, I’ll make him meatloaf tomorrow night. 🙂
Lentil Stuffed Peppers
Between you and I, besides a little texture difference, I didn’t notice the difference between traditional beef peppers and lentil peppers. I love this dish and I love that they are fewer calories and have more fiber then traditional stuffed peppers. This is a very filling dish!! Since the recipe makes 5 peppers, I have leftovers for lunch for a few days. Yah!!!
Lentil Stuffed Peppers
I cheated when making this meal. I used Trader Joe’s Already Cooked Steamed Lentils. I was crunched for time and I wanted something quick, plus I needed to use them. I do love those lentils, but you can always make your own! I have yet to make homemade lentils, but plain on doing it soon. I have a few boxes of it, I just need to do it!!

Lentil Stuffed Peppers
I love making traditional meals and subbing it with things like lentils and quinoa and trust me if I could have gotten away with this, I would have added quinoa instead of rice, but I could only push the limits so far. Baby steps as I always say!

I can’t wait to see what the #SundaySupper crew makes for their meatless meals. I can always use more meatless ideas!

Well my Friends, have a super fab Sunday!!

Toodles,

    Life is too funny, isn’t it? I appreciate the irony of all our best laid plans going another way. However, it sounds like it was a big win-win in the end.

    As a mostly veggies, tofu and/or fish for dinner person, you know I’ve clipped your recipe…and am looking forward to the thumbs up from my husband!

    Lentils are our favourite meat substitute. It has such a meaty flavour it is perfect in things like a bolognese sauce that you normally add beef. I love these stuffed peppers and that in spite of the verbal protest hubby seemed to enjoy it.

    These were so so so good and filling. Cooking the rice with the tomatoes and pepper pieces slowly brought out all kinds of crazy good flavors. Today is leftover day, and I’m watching the clock until it’s an acceptable hour to stuff my face with peppers.

    I used red peppers and all parmesan, and added fresh oregano and garlic. I’m sure the recipe would have been delicious as-is, but I was trying to use up some odds and ends. Instead of boiling then baking the peppers, I put them in the crockpot topped with tomato paste. I needed a lot more water to cook the rice completely. It took about 45 minutes but was well worth it. I ate a bowl of the filling while I waited for the peppers to cook. Mmmmm.

This would appeal to the boyfriend too, he’s trying to be a healthier but not the most proficient cook. Thanks in advance!

    Good recipe, but the rice is wrong…. Wrong!! I’ve made this twice now and the rice does NOT get done using the instructions stated here. The rice either has to be made separately and added into the tomato mixture later, or maybe white rice substitued in place of the brown so it gets done in the time frame given.

    Other than that, great flavor. Even my teenage son – whose main goal, I believe, is to eat only junk food – enjoyed it.

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🎃 
What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
