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!  =)

Slow Cooker Beef Bolognese

Vacation food inspiration…I love it! When we were at Disney last month, Whitney ordered Beef Bolognese one evening. She shared a portion of her entree’ with Dale and he raved about it. If you’re not familiar with this dish, don’t think spaghetti. Here’s an official description of what it is…

Authentic bolognese is not a simple tomato-based meat sauce, but a complex ragù with a prominent meat flavor and a small amount of tomato.

Amazing Shrimp Tacos

We love a good taco at our house, and in recent years, we’ve come to especially love shrimp tacos. I’ve shared posts here about trying to replicate restaurant’s recipes where we’ve eaten.

I have just kept making little changes to improve my recipe. Last week I think I finally landed on our absolute favorite way to eat this fishy taco! The blessing is that it’s still very simple and also super fast! I’m excited to share the recipe with you!

Meal plans for This Week

I’m making my menu after being away from home a week and a half. A sweet friend offered to pick up my grocery order for me so I’d have food ready for meals when we got home. What a blessing! Kroger has a super deal right now – $15 off a $75 pick-up order. Love that, too!

Come along while I plan out some of the meals we’ll eat this week!

Healthy, Delicious Taco Salad Bowls

I love taco salad!  This is a delicious meal!  But wow!  The calories packed into those fried taco bowls are unbelievable! In just the shell there are 310 calories and 18 g of fat!   A while back I discovered that these tortilla shells could be microwaved instead of deep fried.  They’re still flavorful and crispy without the guilt!
