Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Parmesan, and lime juice. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a wide star or round tip or a sturdy plastic bag with a bottom corner snipped off.
- Cut the cucumber slice crosswise into 12 rounds, then cut each in half (you'll have 24 thin half-circles). Set aside.
- Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, discarding the stems, ribs, and seeds. Cut each half into 6 squares. Lay the pieces with the skin side down on a serving platter.
- Pipe about 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture onto each square. Sprinkle with the chili powder. Stand a cucumber half-circle in the cream cheese mixture on each square.
- Substitute small, feathery pieces of fresh dillweed for the chili powder and cucumber.

LASAGNA PEPPER BOATS
Always looking for low-carb recipes, I was making my family lasagna and got the idea to make my lasagna in a 'green pepper boat' instead of using noodles. This tastes great even to people who love carbs! Freezes well too. If I make a smaller batch, I will freeze the leftover sauce for the next time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Arrange bell peppers, cut-side up, in a 10x15-inch baking dish; season with salt. Pour enough water into dish to make 1/4-inch depth.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and black pepper to ground beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors blend, about 15 minutes.
- Fill each bell pepper with a heaping tablespoon cottage cheese; top with a layer of mozzarella cheese, a layer of Cheddar cheese, and meat sauce. Sprinkle each 'boat' with more mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and cheeses are melted, 50 to 65 minutes.
