Thai Pineapple Fried Rice with Kale

This Thai Fried Rice is pretty amazing and has a dramatic presentation!

When Angie over at Fiesta Friday challenged other food bloggers to create a healthy dish this month, I was all set.

Old World Stuffed Peppers

When I mentioned I wanted to make Stuffed Peppers for dinner, my 89-year-old Stepmom reached into the cupboard and pulled out one of her many books of collected recipes; Pat had for or five of these books, recipes spanning generations, from friends, family, magazines and books and what a treasure they were. She settled on a small handwritten card. Pat is half Czech but as I read the card, I also recognized some of these familiar flavors from the German side of my family. I immediately dubbed these “Old World” Stuffed Peppers.
