Cooking Stuffed Poblano Peppers

This post is a mini cookout that I did on a quick break from studying. Came back from the lab with my friend Claudia and we both cooked stuffed poblano peppers. It came out quite well, but what I loved was the amazing colors of the raw materials! Enjoy.



This is a just a picture of Okra that I coooked separately a day before.

Colorful peppers! yumm.
