I love so many things...photography, cooking, crafting, scrapbooking, veggie and flower gardening, reading, my family, friends and God, just to name a few. Most of all I love God and all that He has created for us to enjoy. You are welcome to join me as I discover more about everyday life. I am just me and I want to be the best me that I can be. I want to honor God in all that I do. ****James 1:2-5****

Sauted Peppers and Onions
When I am trying to watch the calories I take in, this meal fills me up and has great flavor. It clocks in at 177 calories and that leaves room for other things during the day. Hope you enjoy!
1/2 red pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow pepper, sliced
1/2 orange pepper, sliced
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 tsp. coconut oil or other oil (I gave the oil 86 calories.)
seasonings - I love the garlic tomato pesto from Tastefully Simple
Melt the oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until tender but not browning. Add in peppers and stir, coating with the oil left in the pan. Allow the peppers to cook in the oil for a few minutes. Add seasoning to taste, 2 T. water and cover to simmer. This allows the oil to flavor the peppers before you steam them with the water. Stir occasionally adding more water as needed. Cook until the onions start to brown slightly and peppers are tender. All the water should be cooked away. Enjoy!
