GRILLED AND STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
This is a quick and easy side to pair to any meat you're throwing on the grill this summer. You can substitute the green bell peppers with red, orange, or yellow bell peppers, or use two portabello mushroom caps (cleaned, gills removed). For a lower fat version, use low fat cheese, low fat margarine, and turkey bacon.
