I recently turned 50 years old and one of my goals for the year was to cook 50 new recipes. Recipe number 3 was Bell Pepper Stir Fry from Lindsay Nixon’s Everyday Happy Herbivore cookbook.
All the recipes in her cookbooks are copyrighted to the publisher, so you’ll have to buy the book in order to see the actual recipe. Here’s Lindsay’s website, where you can order her cookbooks. They are also available in book stores and on Amazon.
I’ve made quite a few of the recipes in this cookbook, as well as several recipes that appear on her website. I plan to order her other cookbooks sometime this year. Her recipes are all easy to make, using easy-to-find and inexpensive ingredients. Perfect for when you want to eat healthy but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
I chose to try the bell pepper stir fry since I had all the ingredients handy. I changed up the original recipe by cooking a handful of fresh mushrooms with the bell peppers, then mixing in an already cooked bag of edamame. If you choose to add as much edamame as I did, I would recommend doubling the sauce in which you cook the bell peppers.
This was tasty and filling. Can’t wait to enjoy leftovers tomorrow!

What a great idea. 50 new recipes for turning 50. Love it!
