BELL PEPPER RECIPES

Most of the ingredients are whole foods - vegetables, fruit, grain and grain flour, beans, nuts, seeds, and butters made from nut and seed. Flavor comes from the taste of fruits, vegetables, and other whole food ingredients. Sugar and salt are added in the amount needed to make the food gratifying and flavorful. Hardly any animal products are used except for several recipes that use mackerel. Some of the recipes can be prepared in 30 minutes or less, some take an hour. Almost all are for sinlge servings. Many require the use of a small blender or processor.
