Great Healthful Recipe

Had this great recipe I found on the web that I made for lunch the other day, and I am making today! I love it because the kids eat it up and it does not heat up my kitchen! Yay for fresh garden eating!

Raw Peperonata

Ingredients

1 red, bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 Tbsp. fresh minced oregano or 1 tsp. dried
sea salt to taste

Directions:

Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano and set aside. Core bell peppers and cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slivers then in half. Cut onion lengthwise and sliver and then in half too. Combine peppers and onion in a large bowl and add dressing and salt to taste. I find it best to refrigerate for a few hours, stirring occasionally to work the peppers on top down into the dressing.

Today I am adding mushrooms to marinate we will see how they taste
UPDATE: Added mushrooms and they worked out great! I think most anything will work, just try what you like!

Makes: 6 - 8 servings, Preparation time: depends, Cooking time: n/a

Here is where I am going to Share those moments that just come whether it be night or day and we take the time to seize every opportunity-

Just a quick chuckle; I was putting my sons down for the night and little Bogan asked for another drink of water, and I said no you have already had a large glass and used the bathroom-he said oh yeah-so I chuckled and said haha your plans to stay awake have been foiled, and he said yeah Mom you folded my plans.

The other night my boys were playing with their legos and when I walked by, PT had made a pyramid and asked me where the little guy was that he had, I said I don't know? And then he showed me he had hidden it under the pyramid-I thought and then grabbed that moment- I went and got out the history book and opened up to the ancient Egypt era when pyramids were built and why it was similar to what he did. He was amazed at the significance. We read and read and learned about them for 2 days.
