We just back from an amazing vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. We had the best time but, now I'm ready to get back to my kitchen and cook. Today, I wanted to make something with bell peppers, and I decided this was just the perfect day to do it. I hope you enjoy this video and will give my recipe a try. Recipe below!

Enjoy!
