When it comes to our food preferences, Danny and I could not be any more different. I consider myself to be about 75% vegetarian. I eat meat, but, am very picky about it. Danny, on the other hand, refers to himself as a “meat-a-tarian” and I affectionately refer to him as “meat-o.” He would never consider eating breakfast or lunch without including some kind of meat. This kind of sucks when it comes to cooking dinner. He does not cook…and I do, but only moderately well. I am far too lazy to usually consider making two “nice” meals. So, we eat out a lot. And, if we’re eating in, more times than not, it is usually just sandwiches.
We have been trying to cut back on eating out so much lately. Between the wedding/party/honeymoon we have been hemorraging money. Tonight I decided that I wanted to make some Mexican stuffed peppers for myself. Luckily, I was able to combine this into a chicken fajita dinner for Danny. I used to make fajitas ALL the time and kind of got burned out on them. This was the first time i’ve ever successfully thrown things into a dish and had it come out edible.
The peppers actually roasted up fairly well under the broiler. I CANNOT wait until we have a house and I can start cooking peppers on the grill.
Then I cut up some squash/zucchinis/onions and let them hang out on my very adult monkey plate. I later sauteed these with some olive oil and beer.
The rest of the toppings all got thrown into a bowl with the veggies – brown rice/black beans/monterey jack cheese and some tomatillo salsa. Yummy!
Ready to eat! A perfectly wonderful dinner with no meat. Danny doesn’t know what he is missing.
