Since Halloween [1] and candy go hand in hand, it can easily become an indulgent holiday — one that then leads into the feast that is Thanksgiving. If you're hoping to commit to your health goals [2] and still celebrate the spooky season, consider jack-o'-lantern stuffed peppers [3]. The festive and healthy recipe simply requires you to carve a bell pepper; stuff it with anything you like such as shredded chicken, ground turkey, brown rice, or salsa; and pop it in the oven.
