Bell Pepper Boats

I’m headed to Belize in 6 days, which means its bikini season in March!  Yikes.  Here’s a little recipe I’ve been using a lot lately to clean up my eating.  My goal for the week is to be a Lean & Green fighting machine.  It’s going to be a busy week before I leave.  We just launched a new website and collection at Borelli and I have a few freelance projects to wrap up.  Happy Monday ya’ll.
