Stuffed Mini Peppers
Radio host and food and lifestyle writer Cindy Grosz aka @cindyscorners shares this tip for a quick, healthy appetizer. Try it with cucumbers, zucchini, or any firm vegetable. (Visit @cindyscorners for New Year product Give-away promotion.)

Prepare the grain mixture according to package directions. Stir in add-in(s) of your choice.

Slice off the top of each mini pepper, scoop out the seeds, and fill with your stuffing. Garnish with mint or dill to taste.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Seasoned breadcrumbs add zest to this versatile dish from The Set Table.  It works as a hearty entrée or serve with toothpicks as an elegant hors d’oeuvres.

In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, panko, and onion. Mix thoroughly and shape into golf ball-sized balls (or smaller if serving as hors d’oeuvres). Gently brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat. Set aside.

In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, flour, water, white vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly.   Add meatballs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, for 30 minutes.

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, cinnamon and oil.

Peel and slice the apples and add to mixture to the bowl, coating as you go to keep the apples from turning brown.

Mix together the baking soda and banana flour and stir into the ingredients in the bowl. Mix well with a fork until all of the flour is absorbed by the wet ingredients.

Pour mixture into a greased 9×13 or two 9” round pans. Bake for 55 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, mix together the crust ingredients until fully blended. Dough will be crumbly. Press into a 10″ tart pan. Lightly prick the bottom with a fork (don’t go through to the bottom). Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.

After the shell has cooled, heat the coconut milk and vanilla in a small saucepan to boiling. Remove from heat and add the chips. Stir until completely smooth.

Spread jam evenly on the tart bottom. Pour the chocolate mixture over top. Refrigerate for at least two hours.

Whisk together the eggs, milk or dairy substitute, coffee, vanilla, and coconut oil in a large bowl. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
