Healthy Stuffed Peppers with Ham and Cheese {Low Carb + Gluten Free}

These healthy stuffed peppers are made with cauliflower rice to keep them low carb! They’re stuffed with ham and cheese for a comforting, weeknight dinner!

IT’S BOXING DAY!

I know, I KNOW. All you ‘mericans are like “WHAT IS BOXING DAY? Is it the day that we all have to give up our houses and start living in boxes due to the fact that Christmas, although WONDEROUS AND FULL OF AWESOME, is SO DARN EXPENSIVE?”

No, it is not that. Boxing Day is the Canadian Equivalent to Black Friday. ALL THE DEALS.

Anyway. I’m in Canada still, so I thought you may want to know about the happenings up north. AND that we do things other than eat maple syrup and have sled dog racing contests all day long.

Now you know.

SO! HOW WAS CHRISTMAS? WHAT DID YOU GET? Mine was full of cookies, family, love and cups full of beverages that made me feel merry inside.

Basically, the most perfect Christmas that there ever was.

We had a gingerbread decorating house couple competition between me and The Hubs, and my brother and his fiancee. Ours took the prize for color. There’s got the prize for composition. BUT, my brother is a graphic designer.

I can’t compete with that kind of design prowess.

And yes, there were some cocktails involved. It helps with the creativity 🙂

OH and I got an IHOP gift card. My family knows me so well! <3

Now, I’m going to be completely honest with you. I don’t have any super clever-whoa-how-does-she-always-do-that segue for you today. It’s extremely hard to make Chicken Cordon Bleu (<– hey, look, we bein’ fancy French people today) + healthy Stuffed peppers relate to the best Holiday that there was in all the Milky Ways of the world.

Which is only one. Whatever. You get it.

HOW-EV-ER, I can relate to these here stuffed peppers to one thing. Let me spell it for ya:

D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S.

I’m sure that most have you have had the winner of a dinner that Chicken Cordon Bleu is. It’s fancy French terminology for a stuffed chicken breast recipe with ooey-gooey cheesy numsnums which is then mixed with ham and covered in some sort of crispety crunchety magic.

AAAANNNND I’m sure that you’ve had a stuffed pepper. They usually have some sort of meaty, carby, starchy thing and ALL DA SAWWWCEEE. We’ve eaten them around these parts in the form of  low carb ketp philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers!

Basically, they are food stuffed into MORE FOOD. Remember the cheesecake baked apples? You know how I feel about food x TWO.

It’s a good thing.

Did anyone else think of Martha Stewart right there? I really am an 80 year old in a 24 year olds body.

The carby-comforty-crispety-crunchety-food loving person inside of me loves both of these meals. BUT, the lets-be-healthy-inside-and-outside person inside of me battles how to handle aforementioned meals.

Because I apparently have two personalities, I decided to please them both and COMBINE the two, AND make it healthy with some cauliflower rice.

I’m pretty sure that cauliflower can do all things, and solve all the world problems. World peace? BRING IT ON.

If you think that’s a little bit of an over exaggeration, I know one problem that it most DEFINITELY can solve:

Tummy grumblies.
