Taco Stuffed Bell Peppers
The weekend is here! Woot woot! I'm excited and beyond grateful for so much this weekend. And why am I making my Taco Stuffed Peppers recipe, also known as nacho stuffed peppers? There's a story so let me explain.
I'm heading up to The Cliff House in Maine with family to celebrate my youngest son turning thirty! Yes, I know what you're thinking. He is almost as old as I am, because I'm 48, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it! (You can stop laughing now) But yes, Bryan, my baby, the youngest of my four sons, will be moving into the next decade of his life.
Every day is a celebration of life for Bryan since being diagnosed with a life threatening medical condition when he was just six months old. Nine surgeries, code blues, nephrostomy tubes, seven years of growth hormone injections, weeks and weeks year after year of hospital stays and a kidney transplant when he was 17 years old and somehow we have come through it all.
Bryan is now happy, healthy, married to the love of his life and eternally grateful for the precious gift of life from his donor family. And so this weekend we are celebrating a very special life, Bryan's, and giving thanks for the precious hero who made it possible, his donor Bobby.
In April we will walk together as Team 360 with our extended family.....Bobby's family and the heart recipient's family..... to raise awareness and money for organ and tissue donation at the New Jersey Sharing Network's Annual 5K Walk & Fun Run.
On that day we will walk together to remember, to honor and to give hope. Please take a minute to consider being an organ donor, make a donation and/or join us at the Walk. It's a fun day and we would love to have you join our team and walk together with us!
And so this weekend our family will be toasting to my thirty year old baby while snacking on cheesy, spicy Nacho Stuffed Peppers seasoned with taco seasoning and brimming with salsa, black beans, corn, avocado, jalapeno and cheesy goodness!
Oh and then there's the Oscars this weekend too! Nacho Stuffed Peppers will surely taste good when you're checking out all those Red Carpet fashions or watching the big game!
