...Vegan Cream Cheese Filled Sweet Pepper Rings...

...Book Club is at our house this month...so YAY!...that means that I get to pick the next book...but it also means that I need to prepare something edible for the group...
...preferably something easy...and something cool...it's been so hot lately...

...so I decided to stuff some of those mini sweet peppers with cream cheese...

...the cream cheese mixture is super easy...just mix some chives and a dash of cayenne into a container of tofutti better than cream cheese...
...then trim off both ends of the pepper and stuff from the top...
...until the mixture starts to come out the bottom...
...level it off nicely...
...when they're all stuffed...or you run out of cream cheese...lay the stuffed peppers on their sides...
...and slice into rings...
...be sure to wipe your knife after each slice or it will make a mess...
...and arrange on a pretty platter...

...so easy and so good...just what I was hoping for...

~Have a lovely day!

  1. Wish I was a member of your book club!

    I've just read Hilary Mantel's 'Bringing up the Bodies' about the end of Anne Boleyn. It was so good I started reading 'Wolf Hall' by Mantel which is about the start of Anne Boleyn. I recommend both books but read 'Wolf Hall' first!
