{Stir Fry Chicken Fajitas}

Another recipe I’ve been asked to share. Haven’t heard from anyone who’s tried any of my recipes so if you have, speak up! I’d love to hear what you thought. :)

2-3 Chicken Breasts, cubed or cut into strips
4 Tbsp Liquid Smoke
Green Bell Pepper, sliced
Red Bell Pepper, sliced
Med. Onion, sliced
1-2 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Put chicken in a Ziploc back with Liquid Smoke, set aside.

While chicken is marinating, heat wok or skillet with butter on med-high and sauté onions & peppers. Remove onions and peppers from skillet.  Add olive oil and chicken to skillet (carefully, since skillet will be hot). Brown chicken on both sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Add onions & peppers to skillet, mix with chicken then cover. Continue cooking on low heat until chicken is cooked through (about 10 minutes).

Serve with all the fixins!

YUMMYLICIOUS!

{Make it up as I go Chicken & Pasta}

So, today I spent all day cleaning and was still in cleaning mode when hubsy came home from work. I wasn’t too worried about having dinner ready because he likes to do his P90 workout before dinner so I pulled a couple of chicken breasts out of the freezer to thaw having no idea what I was going to do with it. About an hour later, this is what I came up with.

 

Here’s what you’ll need:
Chicken Breasts
Rotini Noodles
1 can Crushed Tomatoes
1 Squash – Sliced,diced or however you like it.
Italian Seasonings (Garlic, basil, thyme, oregano, marjoram)
McCormick Garlic&Herb Seasoning
Olive oil
Garlic Breadsticks

In a saucepan, warm the crushed tomatoes & Italian seasonings (to taste). Add squash & zucchini. Cover and let simmer.

While the sauce is simmering, start cooking the Rotini noodles.

In a skillet, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil (enough to cover the bottom. While oil is heating, season chicken breasts with the Garlic&Herb seasoning, add to skillet. Cook on med-high heat until cooked through.

Right before chicken is done, warm garlic breadsticks in oven and mix the tomato sauce & pasta.

Serve to hungry family.  :)

If you make this, I’d love to hear what you thought. Also would love to hear any variations you try.

XOXO,

{Please pass the Pumpkin}

Most of you who know me (or read this post) know that I love anything pumpkin. I love this time of year only because Starbucks has their Pumpkin Spice Latte’s . . . . I drink probably at least 3 per week!
Imagine my excitement when I was at the grocery store and saw Pumpkin Spice instant pudding by Jell-O! They also had free tear away recipe for a Triple-Layer Pumpkin Spice Pie (which you can get here.)

I, of course, rushed home and made it for dessert and it was so very YUMMY and everyone else really liked it too! I’ll definitely be making one for Thanksgiving.
Now that ya’ll know I love anything pumpkin, and you just get the burning desire to get me something, I would love to have any of these pumpkin goodies that I found on Etsy.

What’s your flavor? ;D

Quick & Easy Dinner

Did everyone have a good weekend? We spent it at the lake and while we had fun, we also came back exhausted. After work today, I took a 1.5 hour nap! That almost never happens! When I do nap it's usually a 15 minute power nap. Anyway, when I got up, hubby was fixing dinner (Thank you hubby!!). It's an easy recipe that my Mom use to make when I was growing up. It's called Tortilla Stack. Please forgive me but I don't have exact measurements.

Tortilla Stack

1 lb ground hamburger meat
Chopped onion
1 can tomato sauce
Corn Tortillas
Shredded cheddar (or mexi blend cheese)
1 small can chopped green chilies (optional)
Chili Powder
Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown hamburger meat and onions. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add tomato sauce and and green chilies. Add chili powder to taste.

In a lightly greased square glass baking dish, layer corn tortillas, hamburger mixture and cheese. Repeat until all hamburger mixture is gone (Top layer should end with the cheese). Place in preheated oven and heat until cheese is melted.

I usually serve with shredded lettuce, picante and sour cream on top. We also like to eat with corn chips.

If you try it, please let me know what you think! Pin It
