These Chicken Fajitas are quick and easy to make, in just one pan! Spicy, juicy chicken and crisp-tender veggies in warm tortillas make this a healthy dinner for the whole family.

Chicken fajitas are one of my go-to dinners for busy weekdays. I only need a few ingredients and spices. You can use store-bought seasoning but I preferred my homemade mixes, like my Taco Seasoning. I like to cook the chicken first, then the peppers and onions. This way I do not overcook my veggies. I prefer them to be still a little crisp. Warmed up flour tortillas or a bed of lettuce completes the meal. It’s really that quick and easy!

This Microwave Baked Potatoes recipe makes soft and fluffy potatoes in just minutes! This is the easiest and fastest way to make baked potatoes.

Serve these potatoes with Baked Pork Chops or Skillet Chicken Thighs. You can also serve it with simple toppings as a light option for lunch or dinner.

I am a huge fan of potatoes. It’s one of those foods I could not give up, right next to bread. I have several recipes with this vegetable, starting with Lyonnaise potatoes (absolutely amazing!), to easy oven-roasted potatoes and potato salad. Now, I have a new way to quickly (we are talking less than 10 minutes!) make the best fluffy and delicious baked potatoes right in my microwave. Perfect for a last-minute side dish or lunch!

Make this simple Charcuterie Board with cured meats, cheeses, crackers, fruit and vegetables for your next party or celebration. This meat and cheese board is not only fun to make and serve, but very easy to make!

Add my Veggie Dip to the board and Creamsicle Mimosas for a fun drink!

Charcuterie boards are not only fun to serve but actually a great way to serve appetizers. You can easily create a selection of meats, cheeses on a board, filled with fruits, vegetables, and crackers that make it colorful and appetizing. This trend is popular not only for parties and get-togethers but any celebrations or simply just movie nights. You can now buy a platter with pre-sliced cured meats (with 3 or more types) which makes creating the board even easier. Just remember to keep it simple and colorful!
