Fajitas, Spicy Salsa & Spanish "rice"

Hello all! 


So glad it is Friday and the sun is shining! What are your plans for the weekend? I am going to do a 5K race on Saturday morning, a long run on Sunday and hopefully get some veggies planted. I also ordered Food, Inc. from my netflix and am looking forward to watching it. 


The other day I was checking out Heather's blog (Sweetly Raw) and she had a yummy recipe for fajitas. They looked so good, I got them started that day. I used sliced baby bella mushrooms, an orange bell pepper and a sweet yellow onion. I soaked them in Heather's marinade over night and the veggies softened just enough that I did not need to dehydrate them. They are so good. 




Alongside, I made some Spanish "rice" as I had cauliflower to use and it seemed perfect for the fajita meal. 





Spanish "Rice"

1 head cauliflower 
1 bell pepper (I used orange)
handful cilantro
Onion (I used a leek)

I ate some as a snack in endive leaves. Yum. 

I made a quick salsa to go along with the meal.
