From Dinner Basics to so Much More!

I am always looking to make new entrees that are simple and yummy. This new recipe is the bomb! As long as you like bell peppers, you will like this recipe too. It starts off with a base of bell peppers, onion, tomato and herbs. From there, you can add whatever protein you prefer, shrimp, beans, tofu, chicken, beef…really any protein will blend well with this base of vegetables.  I made orzo with it, but you could add a different pasta or starch of your liking.
