Day 15: Fajitas

Today we were scrambling again in the morning. I wanted to get into the office on-time with folks from every different time zone but eastern showing up. I did not want to be the last person in the conference room.

I tried a new bagel this morning. It was a poppy and onion bagel. Previously we have only had the cinnamon raisin.

We had another class this evening. It is surprising how many of the evening group still come to the events. I actually printed out some cards with my blog URL to hand out to the class. It is not that I want the attention, it is more motivation knowing that others are following my journey, and maybe I could help some keep going.

Since Week 3 is no oils, Jenn did a demo of how to saute onions and peppers in a pan with no oils. We paired the peppers and onions with seasoned hash browns on a tortilla with salsa and guacamole. It was kind of funny that this meal was the plan because Leigh and I had discussed having something extremely similar for dinner tonight.

When I returned home, I took what I learned and tried to recreate the meal. It was delicious! I seasoned the hash browns with our 'fajita marinade' and then microwaved it for 4:30. Sauteing without oil is a cinch. Just start with your pan super hot and add the raw onions first. Onions have a natural oil and water that will be used when it hits the pan. After about 3-5 minutes, add the peppers. I was told to add some vegetable broth to keep the mixture 'slippy'. Once all was complete, time to make the loaded tortilla.
