Yesterday, I found myself with a fajita craving that just wouldn't quit.  While this in itself is odd (mainly because I may have had fajita's once in my entire life) I decided to go with it.  I was working earlier than usual hours and scheduled a spontaneous dinner date.   Upon my arrival home from work I marinated a container full of veggies and got a dough going.  On the menu for the evening: vegetable fajita salads, pretzel bread, and a movie.   

Raw Vegetable Fajita Salad
Adapted from

1/2 large red onion, sliced
1 green pepper, washed deseeded & sliced
1 red pepper, washed deseeded & sliced
1 medium green zucchini, washed & julienned
1 small yellow squash, washed & julienned

1/4 cup Braggs
3 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Tbs Cumin
1 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp garlic, minced

Greens of Choice, washed & chopped (I used romaine hearts)

Place veggies in a large bowl.  Mix up the marinate and pour over veggies.  Allow to chill in the refridgerator at least one hour before using.

I ate mine as is over romaine.  My dinner date requested that his portion be warmed up, which I happily did, and he ate them as is.

I enjoyed left overs with the Spicy Summer Salsa Crackers that I had made the other day. 

And I surrendered the remaining left overs to a vegetable fajita & cheese egg white omlette (pictured above) as I was feeling a bit fajita'd out by that point. 

As for my spontaneous date - in a word:  LAME! Within 20 minutes of dinner being over he was passed out cold snoring.  Oh well!  What can ya do?!  Better luck next time I suppose.  On the bright side of things, dinner was a success :-)

Nite, nite!
