It's a new take on a classic dish as we make Simple Stuffed Peppers, a supper easy enough for a weeknight but delicious enough to taste like you spent all day cooking. Plus we even find time for a super-quick dessert of Peach Puff Pastries. Joining us to share these recipes is Dwight Hudgins from 'Barbara's Kitchen', who is known as The Dreaded Fisherman.
Dwight last joined us to keep clean-up quick as he made a one-pan meal of Spatchcocked Game Hen.
