YTOP-Approved Stuffed Bell Peppers
Youth in YTOP (Youth Training and Opportunities Program) have been cooking up a storm, trying out different recipes based on foods we will be growing this summer… And this stuffed bell pepper recipe passed the test!
Using fresh bell peppers from the garden is going to elevate it to a whole new level! We can’t wait to recreate this dish once the veggie is ripe come late summer.
Baked Chicken Pasta
Try this dish with any kind of pasta or tomatoes (sauce, diced, crushed)! You can even switch up the meat. Top with your favorite cheese. The process and coziness stay the same.
Honey & Soy Glazed Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are great for marinating and cooking in high heat because they’re juicy, thin, and caramelize easily! Try with your favorite seasonal veggies.

Black-Eyed Peas and Collard Greens for New Year’s
Black-eyed peas and collard greens are often a go-to dish during New Year’s celebrations because they’re said to bring luck and prosperity. While black-eyed peas are said to have the power to bring luck, they also provide hearty, nutritious meals during the winter months because of their volume when cooked.
