    Bell peppers are some of my favorite vegetables!!! I just love them, raw, cooked, steamed, any way you choose. I actually just made a stir fry tonight with bell peppers, but we still have a big bag of those mini bell peppers, so I’ll have to try one of these recipes out tomorrow. I think the juice sounds really good.
