Pepper Poppers

I read about this little treat in the Game On Diet book under the recipes section, and I decided to modify it a little because I only had mini-bell peppers in my fridge and I also wanted to keep the calorie count under 200.

Aldi (love!) sells bags of mini sweet peppers, but I think you can pick these up at most grocery stores.  Smoosh or dice up one olive into smallish pieces.

Cut one cheese stick into thirds, and

  wrap a small piece of deli meat around the cheese stick.

Put a few pieces of cut up olive into the pepper, stuff the cheese/meat next, and then top with a bit more olive and some nice Italian seasoning herbs like oregano or parsley.  I would totally add some raw garlic but I'd just run out.

That's it!

 

Throw a few into a sandwich bag and keep it in the fridge for a day or two and enjoy a quick low-calorie meal when you need it!

 

What kinds of things would you put in your sweet peppers?
