I have gone to my Pinterest boards and pulled some new recipes to try. Healthy and delicious, is my goal!

Flavorful Baked Chicken Fajitas Ready in 25 Minutes
I’m reposting an old recipe that is great when you need a delicious meal in a hurry. We love Mexican foods, and this dish is full of the kind of flavors we enjoy, plus it is very fast to make and is also a great do-ahead dish! That alone makes it a perfect pick for a busy day!
Typically, fajita meats are grilled, which gives them great flavor, but for a meal that needs to be on the table quickly, it’s not always the best way to go. I found this recipe on Chef in Training‘s web site (this is a great site!). She found it on another site…and so on and so on! There’s nothing new under the sun, but we must give credit where credit is due! =)

Baked Chicken that Makes Its Own Gravy
In the Old days women made amazing Sunday dinners that included yummy fixings like Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and white, cream gravy. But also in the old days, everyone had to wait until 2:00 to eat dinner! Most of us are starving when we get home from church, and if dinner isn’t on the table in thirty minutes, people at my house start snacking!
Lucky for me, years ago I found a recipe from Carnation Evaporated Milk that is called, Baked Chicken that Makes it own Gravy! No need to stand and fry chicken pieces after church – this dish is baked in the oven, topped with a Cream soup mixture and baked a little longer, yielding a lovely creamy gravy – perfect for those mashed potatoes that were cooked in the crock pot!

Skillet-Roasted Chicken & Potatoes
I love watching good cooks make delicious food! It inspires me to get in the kitchen! One day I saw Ina Garten share a simple recipe on Instagram. It was Skillet-Roasted Chicken and Potatoes. It’s all done in a cast iron skillet, so there’s minimal clean-up. The roasted chicken takes on a delicious flavor from a couple simple ingredients. I couldn’t wait to try this, so I put it on my menu for that next week, and it was fabulous and simple!
