this is actually a really good recipe despite being a diet food. I prefure red bell peppers for it as they are sweeter, and i also put some lemon pepper in the middle of the stuffing as well as on top cause it adds a little more flavor to each bite. Wife LOVES this recipe! And not that it matters, but the picture is actually one my wife took and someone stole it off facebook and added it here...
