What's for dinner?

I have a bell that's black skinned but, still green inside. That's freaky the first one you cut. It tastes like a traditional green.

The red, yellow & orange are definitely sweeter...nice in some salads, when you want a milder taste. They're pretty, too. I make a good red pepper jelly.

i don't find much flavor in the yellow or orange ones compared to the greens (and those which turn red or other colors).

i've really enjoyed finding a milder hot pepper to grow here which does not complain about our garden soils or conditions. very productive pepper for me (Beaver Dam). the flavor is mild compared to green pepper, but very acceptable compared to what i've gotten in the past from Jalapenos. i love roasted red peppers, and after roasting them in the oven to where they just get some black on the edges i hot pack them into jars and put those in the freezer - they keep for a few years at least (i've never not used them up within two years to know exactly when they seem to go off). leave a bit of head space to allow for expansion but otherwise they have enough sugar concentration that i've never had them spoil when kept frozen.

last night was spaghetti and a lone meatball from the freezer. put a bit of grated parmesian on it. very good for a quick meal.

I like the Anaheims. I use them the same way as Bells. Just a tiny bit of heat in them. They grow well here, toom

If you know of a sweet yellow open pollinated bell pepper you like, please let me know. I've only tried a few varieties. I was disappointed they tasted like expensive ones that comes in plastic wrap from the grocery store.

I'm thinking chicken parm...eggplant Parm.....and so I'll do a pan with both in it! Everything here between freezer & pantry oven will add some heat to house. Perfect. Italian yumminess.

a friend gave me two peppers today, they were longer and pretty skinny. the flavor was good, very sweet, texture was a bit tough, not much heat to them - almost faint enough to be an after-thought. i cut them open and ate them as a snack before my BLT dinner.

We had some taco soup that I canned a couple years ago. Love those ready to go meals.

leftovers brought home to me, they were ok, then i finished up with some cole slaw with mustard, vinegar and a bit of brown sugar. that was much more tasty than the leftovers...
