You can do much more with avocados than just making guacamole. They also add a creamy depth of flavor to this unique salad recipe. Not only does this delicious Caprese-style salad have juicy chunks of avocado, but it is served attractively in scooped out avocados.

Aromatic full-flavored stuffed peppers are a satisfying supper, thanks to rice, ground beef and bell pepper in each bite. And this recipe makes just enough for the whole family. Serve with spinach wilted with olive oil and garlic.

In this stuffed pepper recipe, we skip the traditional rice stuffing and instead utilize a melody of vegetables: minced mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini squash. This is a great recipe if you are looking for "sneaky" ways to get more vegetables into your kid's meals.

Spanish chorizo makes an amazing, rich base along with bread crumbs, chicken stock and parsley for stuffing the large mushrooms for a special dinner or fast weeknight meals. You will have no left overs as these will be devoured quickly. Serve with couscous or bean salad.
