Chicken Fajitas

Simple recipe for 2! I just do a Mexican rice, chicken and veggies, add toppings. This Mexican rice recipe isn't perfect, but it's the best I've found that uses Brown rice since that's what I always have in hand. Use half for 2 people. Could alternatively/additionally use refried beans.

While the rice is cooking, Brown sliced chicken strips in olive oil. Add generous squirt of lime juice, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for additional 3-5 minutes.
Warm tortillas. Add rice, chicken, and additional toppings as desired (Cheese sour cream and salsa recommended).
I know it's simple, but so good!

Tofu Mac & Cheese

Tofu Macaroni & Cheese

Yes I eat this as a meal in and of itself! I always add steamed broccoli. I like firm tofu best but recipe calls for silken. Sometimes I don't do the Greek yogurt but it does help the texture (sour cream could be a good substitute). ALWAYS use a sharp cheddar cheese! It's helps with the flavor and you won't need to use extra.

I swear just try it and you won't be sorry! It's a great and healthier way to satisfy your Mac & Cheese craving!

Always remember to add salt pepper and hot sauce (Betsys habanero pepper sauce is the best!)

Blue Moose Home Fries

So...we all know Blue Moose has the best home fries, but unfortunately none of us has a Blue Moose near to frequent. Taylor and I have developed the next best thing Imitation Blue Moose Home Fries. And no more standing around starving for hours waiting for the damn things to cook either! Start them when you start bacon (of course you are cooking bacon) and they will be ready to roll (around in bacon grease) when the bacon is done. The key is boiling the potatoes first!

Cubed potatoes
Enough water to cover
Bacon grease (if available, sub veggie oil if necessary)
Chili powder
Oregano
Garlic powder
Salt and pepper

Cayenne or crushed red pepper (optional)

1. Boil potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until soft.
2. Drain potatoes and put back in boiling pan. Heat bacon grease in a skillet.
3. Spice potatoes liberally with chili powder and oregano. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Through in some cayenne or crushed red if you are feeling froggy!
4. Stir potatoes to cover with spices, then add to heated skillet. Stir as needed until heated through and looking tasty!

Yummy! Oregano and chili powder are the other keys besides the boiling. Remember ever spending what feels like hours waiting for your damn potatoes to cook in the skillet? No more! Enjoy!

I like to put my home fried IN my burrito....Yummy!
