Stuffed Peppers
Certain foods will always bring back childhood memories; for me, my mother's pepper stuffing was passed along by one of her friends. I took it and tweaked it from pepper stuffing to stuffed sweet peppers. Both recipes are fantastic and use the same ingredients, but I prefer the mini stuffed peppers for company, mainly to serve as an appetizer.
