New Time 10:00 on Wednesdays!
Large and small varieties of green, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, but that's not all! Serranos, poblanos, anaheims and jalapeños for the spice-lover, and some yellow squash to top it all off. 
All this in larger quantities than pictured available for $5

10:00am until we run out.
These look good and give a variety of stuffings which you may not normally try, like Italian sausage and Mozzarella stuffed or Creamy Corn and Cracker Stuffed peppers!  With so many peppers this week it just might be the time to try making something new with them!  All the recipes have links to make them. Happy cooking!

Todays veggies!

Boxes this week include
Variety of Peppers
 Cucumbers and tomatillos (mexican husk tomatoes)
$5.00 
35 pounds per box!
Here is a recipe to try from Will Cook for Smiles.com
She also has a stuffed pepper soup recipe that looks great!
Author: 
Serves: 6 pepper halves
Ingredients
  • 3 large and round bell peppers
  • 12 lb ground Italian sausage
  • ½ yellow onion
  • 1 small green bell pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice (long grain white rice)
  • ¼ cup diced green onion
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • salt and pepper
  • About ½ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. (If needed, cook rice first according to the package instructions and set aside in a large mixing bowl.)
  2. Preheat an oven-safe skillet on stovetop, over medium heat.
  3. Thinly slice yellow onion and green bell pepper and saute with some salt and black pepper until golden. Add to rice.
  4. Brown ground sausage in the same skillet and once it's done, add to rice as well.
  5. Add diced green onion, thyme, salt and pepper to the bowl with rice and mix all until evenly combined.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375.
  7. Cut bell peppers in half, lengthwise, and clean them out, taking out all seeds and membrane.
  8. Lay bell pepper halves in the skillet, like little cups, and pack them with sausage/rice mixture.
  9. Sprinkle about 1-2 tablespoons of cheese on top.
  10. Place the skillet in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the peppers are soft. (Personally, I like them a little bit crunchy but you may need to adjust baking time according to your taste. Bake them longer if you want peppers softer.)
