A stuffed pepper is a great cheat if you catch our drift. How so? You can focus all your diet energy on the outside; the fresh vegetable, the healthy thing that's good for you and your doctor keeps telling you to eat more of. But on the inside, there's meaty ground pork mixed with spices, topped with a mix of creamy guacamole and sour cream. Wait, hold on a second…. We're getting word that the entire meal is healthy, and in fact, calorie and carb-conscious. Amazing! Tip: This recipe has a shallot, which sometimes is rough to mince. Easiest way to mince shallot? Make thin slices lengthwise, then slices across, resulting in minced shallot.
