Italian Style Stuffed Peppers

It has been almost 2 months since we moved into this new place and I still have boxes every where. I think I am rebelling because I still don't have a working oven. This place just won't feel like home until I bake a delicious treat in the oven.  I have been making do with preparing meals on the stove top and in the slow cooker.

Luckily for me I have friends and family who really don't mind me sharing borrowing their kitchen for a few hours as long as I leave a treat behind.

One of my favorite meals is stuffed peppers even though I don't actually eat the pepper itself, I just love the flavor they provide.
