Recipe of the week - Stuffed Peppers

This is a stuffed pepper recipe that I created last summer.  I love red peppers.  I hope you enjoy.

Serves 4 - serving size 1

Cook the barley with the chicken broth.  Cook just like rice.  It will take about 20 to 30 minutes.  Once the barley is cooked, add the endame, goat cheese and spices.  Fill the 4 peppers.  Cook in oven about 30 minutes at 350 until peppers are soft.

Total calories for all 4 is approximately 610.  Serving size calories is about 153.  Enjoy.
