Now that Stefan is back from Costa Rica, we’ve started cooking up some of the recipes that you guys suggested. Stefan made the stuffed peppers suggested by Cris and this is how they came out:

I don’t eat red meat, so we substituted the ground beef with tofu and it was really, really good (and good for you)!
I made the salads using the spicy mesculin lettuce mix that I grew, which is also very very yummy (and easy to grow here in Puerto Rico).
Thanks for the recipe, Cris!
Well I am glad you found a way to make it work for you. That is great, glad u liked it
Those peppers look delicious. I haven’t seen you guys (or Katrina Kruse) mention growing chayotes. You can stuff them like peppers, except they lie on their sides. Yummm, especially with seasoned ground turkey mixture; no added rice — save the small stuffing space for the meat/tofu stuffing, serve rice on the side. You can also cube them and add to any stew or soup, kinda like you would a potato. It absorbs all the flavors. You probably know this but if you don’t, you need to peel them and remove the “pit” area before cooking.
