I’ve gone all around the globe to put these Valentine’s Day recipes together, but I think they will work out deliciously.

Couscous and Feta-Stuffed Peppers

I adore anything stuffed: peppers, tomatoes, you name it. There’s just something about breaking into a shell and having warm stuffing break free. So for one of my side-dish-type Valentine’s Day recipes, I’ve opted for these amazing looking stuffed peppers. Cheesy, veggie goodness.
