One of my oldest and best friends came to visit from Australia. She stayed at home with me on a Saturday night and I couldn’t have been happier! We got into our pj’s, ate yummy food, watched movies and chatted. I loved it, it was such a treat!
Over the last eighteen months while I’ve been healing my body I haven’t been able to go out very much. I’m a homebody at heart so it hasn’t bothered me too much and has given me the wonderful gift of working on A Touch of Zest!
It has allowed me the space to focus on what’s important and weed out all the things that no longer serve me and prevent me from moving forward in a positive way. I’ve had no choice but to put myself first because everything that I do has to support my body in the best possible way. Thankfully food blogging one hundred per cent supports that!
I wanted to make something that was perfect for a chilled night at home but also a treat for the weekend. I decided on these black bean fajitas and they were delicious! The black beans are flavoured with cumin and coriander and topped with grilled peppers and avocado.
