From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I'm always on the lookout for new side dishes, so, I was thrilled when this one came on my radar. The recipe was developed by Angela Hanks and she created a wonderfully flavorful side dish that's low in fat and sodium. That's not easy to do. I love the flavor the red sweet peppers add to this dish. They also add great color and give this casserole fabulous eye appeal. It's a standout on a buffet table and you won't have to worry about leftovers. I really enjoy this dish and I make it regularly for the Silver Fox. It's fast and easy to prepare and I always have the ingredients I need to make it on hand. I hope you'll give this dish a try. I suspect you'll like it, too. Here's the recipe.

I was going to use corn in a dish this weekend but something (or should I say someone) got in the way. This looks like a nice and easy way to use the corn I had purchased for that.

A definitely wonderful side dish I'm sure. Full of fibre and goodness too.
Anything with orzo gets my attention. And this did too.
