Do you have a favorite pepper color?  I like the orange and yellow best.  Maybe because they are a little sweet?  You can use whatever your family likes.  Maybe you have a kid who’s favorite color is orange.  Well, giving them an orange dinner is a great way to get them to eat their veggies, right?  Will they even realize how nutritious and healthy these are?
