Waiting on the (Halloween) Weekend

Although I'm not the biggest fan of Halloween, I'm excited to head out and see the creative costumes!! It really is amazing what some people can think of for a costume*.

My favorite part about the festivities HAS to be the little kids all bundled up in the cutest little costumes.  When I was a kid, my Mom had my costumes made 3x too large so it could fit over my snowsuit and sorels!! Kids do not realize how lucky they are these days to have above zero tempatures for trick or treating.

Happy Halloween (weekend) everyone!

*Maybe it isn't so much a dislike for Halloween in general but, rather, a dislike for how much more creative people are than I am when it comes to costume making.

Fajita Fridays

The new health kick requires new experiments in the kitchen.  Last Friday I decided to make Fajitas.  Mainly because they are quick to make and at week end I'm just too tired to care what I eat.  On top of easy,  Fajitas are basically impossible to screw up and can be quite healthy (minus the cheese and sour cream...but, those can be limited). I didn't use any particular recipe rather, I threw together a mash (and it literally looks like that as you eat it) of ingredients* and called it a fajita.

1/2 green pepper
1/2 red pepper
1/2 of a small onion (I originally thought red onion would work best however, I used white as I already had one in my fridge and it worked just fine)
1 jalapeno
Just over a cup of sprouted beans
2 chicken breast
A bit of oil, spice and lime juice to marinate the chicken in

Once I had everything cut up and the chicken cooked, I sautéed everything together until it was just the right texture and full of flavor.  I threw it all into a flax grain tortilla, put a BIT of cheese, sour cream and salsa on top and enjoyed!!!
