Categories: What I ate

No recipes, just deliciousness.

After work today, I went for a walk with  my sister through the park near her house.  I have to admit, walking and talking with someone is a whole heck of lot more fun than running by yourself.  Just sayin.

After the walk, I headed to the BF’s to make up some dinner.  That’s 2 times in one workweek!  GASP!  Anyway, I had no recipe in mind–I just wanted something TASTY and simple.  And I had a crap ton of veggies to use up in my fridge.  When all else fails, make fajitas.  That’s my life motto actually 😉

First up, I chopped up a green pepper, red onion, a small zucchini, and some white mushrooms and tossed them with a little extra virgin olive oil, garlic salt, cajun seasoning, and black pepper:

Next I made some pico-de-gallo out of some fresh cilantro, tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, garlic salt, and black pepper.  Pico-de-gallo.  PICOOOOO-de-GALLO…  Have you guys seen that Wendy’s commercial??  Makes me laugh every time.

I let the veggies cook for about 15 minutes on the George, then loaded up 1 Mama Lupe low carb tortilla and a big bed of lettuce with the veggies, PIIICCOOOO-de-GALLO 😉 ) , banana pepper rings, some shredded grilled chicken (which I cooked up Sunday night), some Tostitos salsa (leftover from last night’s Mexican Meatloaf), and some Stonyfield Farms Plain Fat-Free yogurt:

Fantastic. 

Side note – Have you checked out the ingredients on Tostito’s salsa?  It’s all natural, and I didn’t even realize it!  Props to Frito Lay!

BTW – I’ve found that Stonyfield Farms Plain Fat-Free yogurt makes an EXCELLENT substitution for sour cream.  This makes me very happy indeed 🙂

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
