Fajitas!

Still waiting on AF. I'm feeling a little more crampy now than yesterday, so today must be the day. I hate the LAGGING HAG. But I am trying to be "zen" about it. She's an unstoppable force, so I might as well accept my fate.

Okay now to the fun news - my SIL (older bro's wife) is freakin' awesome! I was stressing yesterday about what to make for dinner that would fit in with the new diet, and I remembered my SIL had offered to help me out and cook dinner with me if I wanted. (She's a vegetarian and has a very "adventurous" palate, so I figured I could pick her brain.) So I asked if we could do that instead of game night last night and THANK THE HEAVENS she agreed! We decided to make fajitas for ourselves and the guys, and what a great idea that turned out to be. They were the most delicious veggie fajitas of all time!! No, seriously, they were frickin' amazing. Even my veggie-hating brother loved them, and even my Mexcan-food-hating hubs loved them!

I was good and ate only 2 small tortillas, didn't use any dairy at all, and still it was magnificent. I also discovered that avocados can make a great substitute for cheese as a topping, and when in doubt, add more salsa! I wish I could eat them again today, but the down side to making fajitas is it takes a really long time to prep and cook everything. It took us about 2 hours! (To be fair, we weren't exactly rushing, and we were cooking for 5 adults, three of which are big men.) All in all, it was a wonderful and delicious (and healthy) evening!

Now I have to figure out what the heck to make for dinner tonight. The bar has been set pretty high!
