This Little Piggy

had roast beef...and it was like if Arby's had done the Arby melt right...(according to Curtis Williams). But seriously, this little spot in the East Village is amazing - and cheap too. The sandwich was $5.50 and it was juicy, meaty and cheesy wonderfulness. I highly recommend when you are debating what to eat for lunch/dinner that you give this spot a chance.

Stuffed Peppers

These peppers are super easy to make. First, take 2 green peppers and cut tops off. Cut in half and de-seed. Drop in boiling water and cook until tender (about 10 min). Remove from water and let cool in a baking dish. In a separate pan, fry up ground beef (I used 90% lean) and add marinara sauce (any jarred sauce will do but I used Prego Traditional). Then I took Uncle Ben's Brown rice (the kind that comes in a pouch and only takes 90 seconds to cook) and I added that to my meat sauce. Stop cooking and stuff your peppers. If you don't want to cut your peppers in half you don't need to. I only did because they don't stand up very good sometimes - plus I didn't want to eat a whole one. I topped the pepper with sliced cheese (use mozzarella). Brown the cheese by putting in oven on broil for like 1 to 2 minutes. Done, son!
