SQUEE! I got another package yesterdayVals‘ Vegan 6 Layer Bars:

YUM. This is about half of what she sent!! Good thing we have company to help me eat these… although I may want to hide them, they are that good! Yum, I’m lucky! She was sweet enough to include some unexpected goodies I’ve been wanting to try for a while:

I love Luna, and have been wanting to try the Dulce de Leche! I’ve never had a Kardea, so I’m looking forward to trying those also, especially the Lemon Ginger. Later, though; I’m eating vegan 6 layer bars right now:

Val, thank you so much! You are awesome :)

I’ve been craving fajitas for some time now, so we’re having them tonight! It’s funny how tastes change, I used to loathe fajitas, I don’t even know why. Then, poof, they sounded good! I made some at home, where I could control the flavors. Heh. Now I make them sometimes twice a month.

More often than not, I use faux meat as the fajita protein. My favorite for this sort of recipe? Soy Curls:

These, my friends, are genius. They are 100% soybean (one of the few soy things I eat). They are dehydrated and are in a free-form strip shape. You rehydrate them in warm water, then cook as you like. I usually saute them.

Heh. I asked Jason to grate some cheese. For the two of us. We have grated cheese for months:

Once rehydrated, I added some water to my wok with fajita spices (cayenne, garlic powder, paprika, cumin…) and added the curls. After they soaked up the flavor, I added chopped onion, bell peppers and some frozen corn:

Mmm! My fajitas, wrapped in a FlatOut (my new favorite!!) and sprinkled with cheese:

So so good. I can’t believe I missed out for years. After dinner, we got silly. Basil gets silly with us:

That’s me under the blanket. We have fun around here!

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

I’m so glad that you liked the bars, and equally gladthat they arrived in one piece – I was worried they might fall apart during the move!! I’ll be posting the recipe sometime soon on my blog but honestly, they are a cinch to make. Enjoy! :)

I love your dog. Not only is he adorable, but he’s named Basil. I hope that at some point your puppy can meet my puppy.

that would be AWESOME, and Basil would LOVE it! (oh, my… an off-shoot of blogger meet ups, a blogger PET meet up??)

Basil loves making friends. (and he doesn’t know he’s short, or has a broken tail).

…he’s featured at the end of today’s post as well, if you want to see more Basil…
