A large number of people prefer some chili peppers when they cook. However, eating too much chili pepper is not reasonable. We're trying to eat a bit healthier around Chili Pepper. Tilapia is always a healthy favorite, but can be somewhat bland if you don't prepare it properly. Not so when you introduce chili peppers. And ham. And pecans. Delicious.
