TIPS AND TRICKS

STORAGE: You can store your leftovers in an airtight container and it should be good up to 3 days.

BELL PEPPERS: I used a red bell pepper because I love the pop of color and the flavor, but if you prefer a different pepper, go ahead. Heck, if your kids won’t eat them, leave them out!

VEGGIES: If you needing more veggies in your life, add some broccoli, carrots or a rainbow or bell peppers.

SPICE: Go ahead and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick!

PINEAPPLE: If you don’t think I added enough pineapple pieces, go rogue, and add until it makes your heart happy!
