I grew up eating eggs every day. My momma makes my favorite scrambled eggs, which in the past I have had a hard time replicating the flavors of, though I'm not sure why. …I think I finally got it. Egg Stuffed Bell Peppers are cute way to easily add some extra vegetables and make them look just a little fancier.
Well, I'm sorry.
Why? Because Holley and I have been so quiet the last few weeks. I could make excuses and tell you why, but… actually that's exactly what I'm going to do! As you may or may not know, I have been struggling with an old laptop which has been giving my problems for over a year. With no WiFi, error messages on the regular, and a screen which has made photo-editing a bit of a guessing game at times, this often causes me some stress and eats up a lot of time.
That in combination with the fact that the excitement and momentum I started the year off with has been disappearing (mostly due to some gremlins affecting the website – you might have noticed that a number of the old posts are not displaying images). In fact, we just hit The Primal Desire's 2-year birthday. I was a little down that day, probably because I was up til the wee hours of the morning working on photos of The Primal Desire Chicken. My head was full of questions like “Are people even making our recipes?!”. I found out a day or two later that readers were unable to leave comments on the site. I've since fixed that.
And I should have had this recipe for you last week, but somehow I lost track of time and thought it was for this week…. I blame the incredible weather that we've been having. I hope you too are enjoying an early spring/summer.
Good news!
I can tell you that Holley and I have been busy with great recipe creations and experiences. This past weekend we did a trial run putting on a catered dinner at a friend's house. This was not only tremendously fun, but we also created a number of fantastic recipes that we will be sharing in the near future!

If you use different coloured peppers, it would make a really eye catching breakfast for guests! Thank you for the compliment about my scrambled eggs. I was telling your nephews this past week about your egg in a basket which I used to make for you pretty frequently, too. I should have made it for them with their gluten free bread, but we ran out of breakfasts for that week. Glad to see you back up and running!
I use to make tuna stuffed peppers, but I love your idea of egg stuffed peppers! They are so good looking and so tasty!
Good idea! Do you have it on your site? Share a link here if you do
We don’t, that’s one of those dishes that we make and eat without thinking of turning into a post. But you gave me an idea. 🙂
Keep us posted!
Computer and site trouble is so frustrating! Glad you’re up and running again. The egg stuffed bell peppers look delicious, perfect for lunch.
