Stuffed Pepper Soup

I mentioned that I’m going to start sharing some recipes that I’ve been making as part of my weight loss journey or making better food choices. I didn’t quite follow the instructions.

Gettin’ old

Please allow me to start this piece with, I have issues that aren’t associated with aging.
