The bell peppers in the garden are huge and juicy this year, and we have as many as we could possibly use. I made some Spicy Sweet Pepper Steak last weekend, a recipe I hadn't used since the abundance of bell peppers last year. :)

The children and I enjoy eating fresh (raw) bell peppers, and of course we chop them and add them to taco salad, ground beef, and chili -- or make stuffed peppers. We also like broiled stuffed pepper wedges. :)

In the meal pictured above, I had made some freshly-cooked green beans, gourmet potatoes, and re-warmed the last three leftover Cornmeal Crescent Rolls. Three rolls just wasn't enough (they're soooo yummy!!) but we consoled ourselves with the yummy cheesy gourmet potatoes, a dish I hadn't made recently. :)

And here is what our meal looked like before we filled our plates! I took a picture of this, partly because it has been a long time since my stovetop was so full of food for just one meal! I was able to spread out some of the preparation of this meal by preparing the potatoes the day before, washing the green beans ahead of time, and having my sister Bonnie chop the peppers, onions, and meat for the stir fry on Friday.

Tomorrow will be another full day of doing tomatoes... so I should get some sleep! :)
