Tuesday Tips... Quick & Easy Chicken Fajitas

Happy September! 

At my house we're busy getting for school to start on Thursday and life to get back to normal.

Being a mom of two young girls I know that many nights we don't have enough time to put together an elaborate meal. I'm going to share with you my Quick & Easy Chicken  Fajitas.

What you'll need:

1 medium green bell pepper and 1 medium yellow (or red) pepper

(optional one sweet onion) Cut into strips

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast cooked and cut into strips (or you can by the ones already made and cut) 

1/2 cup of water

1/2 cup of salsa

1 envelope of Lipton Onion Soup Mix

1 teaspoons of vegetable oil

12 (7-8 inch) flour tortillas warmed

Preparation: 

In a large skillet place peppers, (onions) chicken, salsa, and soup mix. Stir about 5 minutes until everything is mixed and heated.

Place mixture in tortillas, roll, and serve.

I always place sour cream and shredded cheese on the table along with rice to complete my meal.

Enjoy!

Let's Kick off the Holiday Party Season!

Hot Buttered Rum Batter

by PEPPER on NOVEMBER 18, 2011

The Holiday party season starts any day now. I just gotta share my favorite winter time drink recipe. A good friend gave me this recipe about thirty years ago. I’ve passed it on to family members and friends over the years, but I still keep the original piece of paper folded up in my recipe box. Every year when I make a batch, I pull out that paper and remember my friend. The Holidays are all about making memories. You’re bound to make a few fun ones with this recipe. Hint: skip the rum and add the cold batter mix to hot milk or hot cider for kids — it will make them feel like part of the party. And it's delicious in your morning cup of coffee too.

HOT BUTTERED RUM MIX

1 lb. powdered sugar
1 lb. brown sugar
1 lb. butter, softened
1 quart vanilla ice cream
2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. allspice

In a large mixer bowl, using a heavy duty mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Add the ice cream and mix again until smooth. Mix in the spices. (You may want to adjust the spices if you like more or less.) Put into a covered container and store in the freezer. Mixture remains soft enough to scoop easily as needed. Add two heaping spoons to a mug of very hot water and a shot of rum. Will keep all winter. Yum!
