So as autumn is upon us and the cooler temps start to creep in. The days of sitting out by the grill all day in the warm embrace of the sun with a frosty beverage may not be an option anymore. 

However, we are not ready to give up the grill just yet!  So here is a quick and tasty recipe that uses the flavors of the fall chili pepper harvest.
