Oh this is one wonderful sauce! Had some lovely peppers - found this recipe all that I thought it would be. Used both the yellow and the orange peppers which looked so appealing, absolutely delicious served over grilled fish. Going to assure having some scallops over the holidays. This is my kind of recipe! Made for 'Let's Party' -

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
