Oh Lookie Lookie, The Capsicums Have Gone Spooky – Vitamin C, Anyone?
Bell peppers! We looooveee them so much; as healthy munch, in salad, in stir fry, in sandwich, in fried rice, barbecued, in many dishes. Yum!
They are sweet, they are pretty colorful, and they are a great source of vitamin C. I did not know this, but living in Hungary I learned how Hungarians are pretty much crazy on bell peppers, and they would always say ‘here, have a bell pepper, it’s vitamin C, you know’.
How awesome is that, right?
So now Imma share you this easy yet tasty Hungarian dish that is super packed with vitamins, called lecso

But before that, check out these vamped up sliced Capsicums 😂😂😂 I know, am so silly. I sliced them and realized they were like faces screaming and looking shocked. So what did do? I grabbed my crafty box and took out googly eyes and added them to the Capsicums 😂😂😂😂
Don’t they look better with eyes? 😂
