Introduction

I recently had my gallbladder removed and am part of a small percentage of people that cannot process high amounts of fat. Last year, around Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was desperatly looking for low fat side dish alternatives and came across this. It is absolutely amazing! My entire family LOVED it and wanted the recipe!

Of course this can really be made for any occasion and changing up the color of the peppers can make the dish festive for holidays!
