Sauteed Multi-Color Garden Peppers

This is the time of year that my garden Abounds with peppers I planted yellow, green and red peppers on purpose and now the beauty of the various colors is in full throttle!
Peppers can make a lovely and wholesome side dish especially when coupled with some mushrooms and onions.  Flavorful, easy to prepare, And full Of vitamins, I love serving this either along side a protein or adding some sausage for a one dish meal.  
If you don’t have a garden you can just snag a bag or two of the multicolored peppers from H-E-B.  
Organic is a good choice for peppers if you are striving to eat “clean”.  

So go ahead: pick a peck of peppers & sautée them up for dinner tonight!  Hint:  they really shine in a cast iron frying pan & you can serve them up straight from there.
