like at least one meal a day, I had to keep a bunch of good munchie veggies around. I like bell peppers a lot and go through about one each red, yellow and green per week. With those, fresh jalapeno's, mushrooms, onion, tomato and all, I had to find more use for them to keep from wasting any. The bombelet was born!

My favourite omlette is red pepper jelly and brie. Not healthy but tasty. applegrove Feb 2020 #13
