Slightly Spicy Sautéed Vegtables

Tired and hungry, I decided to whip up something quick and easy, but also tasty last night. Leaving the entrée to my dad and the salad to my mom, I was determined to make something we would all be happy with. I actually didn't mean to make this dish spicy, it just sort of happened with the amount of pepper I added! Either way, my parents absolutely loved it, so I thought I would share it with you all! This recipe is a great with chicken or sausage.
