    These all sound very good. I've never had cod this way so maybe I will try that soon...I love stuffed peppers and can invent all sorts of low carb stuffings.

    I make stuffed peppers, but in place of the meat, I add rice. The other two look amazing, and I might try them, especially the omelette. Thanks, Jan.

    Italian culinary ideas are unbeatable!
    Peppers stuffed with meat (no dairy, for me) are an old favorite of mine.
