Sounds good! And welcome to the site! :)


These look great. I too prefer the yellow and orange bells to the green - they taste better and add a wonderful splash of color to any meal.


This sounds fabulous! Saving it to try. How did I miss this one??? LOL I'm with you on the green peppers. Don't even really like them myself, but, I love the others!
