Spanish Style Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers

Hey guys, I know I have been MIA but for good reasons! I had my first event over the weekend and it was a success alhamdulilah (Praise God). Soon, I am traveling to New Jersey to see my family so things have been hectic around here!

Don’t you worry though, I got an amazing recipe to share with you guys that is also a vegetarian option that packs so much flavor. I also recorded a video on how to make it!

As you know, my husband and I have been trying to consume less meat and incorporate more vegetables so this is a perfect option for Meatless Mondays. Enjoy the recipe!
