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?

My dear Mum gave me this recipe, and it is an absolute favorite of mine.  I eat this almost every night as my last meal (which usually ends up being around 7 or 8 o'clock), so it ends up being dessert.  It's simple, attractive, and tastes divine.

Bananas and blueberries are always a delicious combination, but the cashews are what really make this perfect.  Cashews are a soft nut (unlike most peeled peanuts that we can purchase in stores) and have a wonderful mellow taste. 

(By the way, did you notice that yogurt is listed as a carb and Greek yogurt is listed as a protein?  Do you know why?  I don't know the reason for certain, but my idea is that yogurt is lower in calories/protein/fat so you can have more of it, while Greek yogurt has a higher protein/fat/caloric count.  I make my own yogurt and add a tablespoon of chia seeds to it which makes it as thick and creamy as Greek yogurt, without adding any extra calories.  Plus, chia seeds are healthy too!)
