Here is a great Vegan Gluten Free dinner recipe for Stuffed Peppers! Stuffed Peppers are one of my favorite dishes when there starts to get a chill in the autumn air.
This looks so yummy all I need to add is some Daiya Cheese Shreds melted on top. Gotta have my faux dairy fix you know! I also consider this one of my favorite comfort foods.
Daiya is a dairy free cheese substitute which can be found at most grocery stores. They have such a nice variety of gooey cheesy flavors! You have to try them.
What other kind of goolosh dish can you think of to put in a bowl on a cold snowy night and eat as comfort food?
