I first came across this recipe at a P & C meeting at
Bunbury Senior High School where my children attend.
The recipe not overly rich especially if you use light cream
cheese rather than full cream. Include as much green
capsicum, grated cheese and spring onions as you fancy.

Food Facts:
Capsicums are from the nightshade family. They originated
in Central and South America. They come in an amazing array of
colours from bright red, yellows, oranges, purples and greens.
Capsicums can be eaten in their raw form or they can be
cooked. They range from very mild spiciness to
extremely hot! Most species of capsicums contain
capsaicin which is the chemical that causes the hot burning
sensation when they are eaten. they are good sources of
vitamin C.
