Who says you have to serve fajitas in a flour tortilla? Instead of serving peppers in the fajitas, I serve fajitas in a roasted pepper!

This recipe is part of "The SparkPeople Cookbook." Order your copy today! This salad is even better the longer it sits in the fridge, so we love to make a big batch of it and eat it throughout the week.

My favorite Mexican restaurant serves a guacamole that's heavy on vegetables--and flavor. To slim it down even more, serve with carrots, celery and cucumber slices.

This recipe is based on "Baked Grains Pilaf" in The Eat-Clean Diet Recharged by Tosca Reno (Robert Kennedy Publishing, 2009), p. 353. The original recipe is baked. I found it cooks much faster on the stovetop.

TIP: Wash millet and quinoa well before use by placing them in a fine mesh sieve and rinsing them under running water until the water runs clear. PK’s note: Don’t wash them together. Use your hands when washing the quinoa to be sure the salponin is removed . A short soak/wash in a bowl before putting the seeds in a sieve speeds up the process.

My mom got the original recipe from an egg noodle package, but I've modified it to add more vegies and use whole wheat noodles. And it changes by what I have available in my kitchen. For instance, normally it just calls for diced green pepper but I have yellow & orange peppers that I wanted to use up today.
