The lentils make the soup by adding lots of protein and fiber!  Lentils, along with beans, dry peas and chickpeas, all fall under the category of pulses.

Have I mentioned that my husband is a good cook?  This mushroom and bell pepper fajita recipe is one of his creations.  This is another one of his creations and also one of the most popular recipes on the blog.  We have been using his homemade fajita seasoning ever since I posted this recipe.  Homemade fajita seasoning is awesome because you can control the ingredients in it.  These mushroom and bell pepper fajitas came out so delicious!

Fajitas are so hard to photograph.  I did the best I could.  I hope they look yummy to you.  These fajitas are vegan and gluten free.  I topped them with my dairy free sour cream.  It’s amazing.  If you haven’t tried it, you should.  It really taste like sour cream.  Or at least what I remember sour cream to taste like. lol.  And everything is better with avocado.  Agreed?

So today I had a bunch of leftover veggies in my fridge.  We are getting a co op basket this weekend so I needed to make more room for it.  So I took everything I had and threw it in a stir fry.  As I said before, stir frys are an easy way to use up some leftovers in the fridge.  Plus, they take only a few minutes to make.
