...I made the recipe spot on and passed all but one pepper on to my friends. I'm a 8 year veteran RnY gastric bypass patient.... most all my food has to be the size to fit thru a straw in order to digest it and eliminate 'after eating' issues. This recipe is one of the few 'semi solid meat/veggie/grain' dishes I chew and have been able to tolerate and really enjoy without any follow up issues. My 'Stuffed Pepper' lasted me (2) days at the portions I eat. I had to share my thoughts because there are very few recipes posted that are Gastric Bypass friendly. I only rate what recipes are gastric friendly to me. If you are a GBP patient you know what I'm talking about. To the author...?....I bet you didn't even know you posted a 'heck-of-a-meal' for me!!! Thanks! Semper Fi! Godspeed!! Read More

Very bland. I usually avoid recipes that are lacking in a variety of spices but thought I'd try it anyway. If you want loads of flavour this won't satisfy unless you make some major adjustments to the recipe. Might be good for picky kids. Read More

These were deelish! I didn't have spinach so didn't include it. I substituted a can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes for the can of soup. I used a quinoa mixture that was red white and black which was very flavorful. I didn't add the cheese as I don't eat dairy. Very flavorful! Read More
