Chloe, my 3-year-old, is a big fan of these healthy peppers, which have a wonderful thyme flavor. She likes to help mix the ingredients and make meals with me. —Jennifer Kent, Media, Pennsylvania

Editor's Note: If your microwave does not accommodate a 13x9-in. dish, microwave stuffed peppers, half at a time, in an 8-in. square dish for 6-8 minutes or until peppers are crisp-tender.
