Tri Bell Pepper Cheese Toast…and kicking off the new year....

As we enter a new year, wishing all my friends, co-bloggers and readers a very happy and healthy new year. The resolution for me as a blogger is of course to blog more, work upon my photography skills, revamp my blog, update my recipe index … the list seems daunting , but I shall take baby steps on this….

Coming to today’s post – Tri Bell Pepper Cheese Toast…

Bell peppers aka capsicum / Shimla Mirch is one of favourite veggies at home – both for me and the kids. This week’s theme for Blogging Marathon is part of Valli’s event Kids Delights - Party Pleasers Theme is hosted by Priya Srinivasan.

Considering I make this often for both parties and as an after school snack, I experimented with a combo of all peppers available, and it turned out pretty good. Both my girls are not into too much cheese, so I cut down that quite a bit. But for cheese lovers, you can top it with as much as required.
