When my dad was my age, one of his favorite dishes was stuffed peppers. My late grandmother's recipe used beef and cheese. I am allergic to both, so I created an allergy-safe, healthier makeover with a twist. I love the colors, seasonings, and pizzazz of Mexico and Louisiana, so I used both to create a fun, healthy, colorful meal.
