I think most of my inspiration for developing recipes comes from a longing to have old flavors I used to enjoy in a different way. For instance, I used to LOVE the chicken bacon ranch sub from Subway. In my first few years in college, I think I ate one once a week. When I stopped eating majority of all fast food because the processed junk upset my stomach, the desire for the flavors didn’t go away.
So here I am wondering how I can recreate this taste of my beloved chicken bacon ranch sub. For once, it didn’t make sense to put this on cauli-rice or some form of zucchini. But a stuffed pepper could really do the trick! And here we are. Trust me on this one, you can mend your cravings with this and know that you are still fueling your body with nourishing, whole foods!
