I need some new ideas for raw bell peppers and perhaps cooked ones too. Red
bell peppers are one of the few vegetables that Angela really likes. When
the weather cools I plan to make a recipe I have somewhere for unstuffed
peppers. She loves the stuffed ones but neither she nor my husband will
actually eat the pepper when I make them this way. They both scoop out the
filling and give me their peppers. I think they are just lazy and don't
like eating foods that they have to cut up. But I could be wrong. I made
Spanish rice and they ate the peppers in it. So I figure they might eat the
unstuffed. It is basically just like how you would do a stuffed one but the
pepper is cut up and mixed in. You bake it in a casserole dish. So unless
I can do it in the microwave I'll wait for cooler weather.

One thing I like (but haven't tried yet for Angela) is assorted peppers cut
into little scoop shapes and then served with slightly warmed refried beans.
This is good with cheese sauce too. Or hummus.

Mostly I just cut them in strips and give them to her. Or put them in her
salad. I do also add them to red sauce for pasta and the like.

Right now they are pretty expensive at $1.99 each. But I need some ideas
for when I can find a good price. I did find a good price at Winco last
week but I am starting to think they don't always sell the freshest produce.
They were not refrigerated and most were getting shriveled. I won't buy
them that way. I did find two that were in good shape but they were very
small.
