Kids are hungry all the time, but they are hardly hungry for healthy food. Trying out new dishes also becomes a challenge for many parents.

One thing is for sure, though. Kids love cheese. They can eat anything covered nicely in cheese. Knowing this, I wanted my kids to eat bell peppers. So, I made them a healthy plate of Mushroom and Bell Pepper Poppers. The plate was licked clean in seconds!

Recipe: Mushroom and Bell Pepper Poppers

Ingredients:

20 – button mushrooms

½ cup – diced yellow and red bell peppers

1.4 cup – melted butter or olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste
