February 3, 2021 by Debbie 1 Comment

These Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita have all the wonderful flavor but the slow cooker does all of the work. Super easy and flavorful the whole family will love these more than the traditional fajitas. This recipe will be on the permanent rotation I am all about making life easy so I love my slow cooker and use it often. These fajitas I have perfected over the years . This is a go to recipe when I have a girls weekend at the beach. Everyone loves fajitas and they go so well with frozen drinks like a Mango Margarita , a beach favorite. These are just as good leftover and make a fabulous Chicken Fajita Omelette.

Easy Fish Tacos

August 17, 2020 by Debbie 20 Comments

These Easy Fish Tacos are packed full of seasoned flaky fish in a hearty warm tortilla. They are topped with cabbage, avocado, cojita and Chipotle Crema(Don’t skip the crema), even those not too sure about fish tacos will love these . Have you ever tried fish tacos? Don’t be scared they are such a treat . I have an obsession no matter what city or restaurant I am bound to try either shrimp and grits or their fish tacos, I have an internal love for both. After trying so many I have made quite a few at home. For this recipe I used some red snapper I had on hand but basically any white flaky fish will do. For those of you that don’t like “fishy” fish white flaky fish tends to be mellow with a very mild flavor.

Instant Pot Mexican Shredded Beef

February 20, 2019 by Debbie 4 Comments

For all of you Instant Pot lovers this Instant Pot Mexican Shredded Beef is insanely good. I have a confession to make ..I had my instant pot for over a year before I started using it regulary. Why you ask?? Well.. that little magical pot scared a bejesus out of me . The first few time I used it and I heard it start building pressure I wouldn’t let anyone into the kitchen for fear of it blowing up and killing someone in the process. So, I packed that little baby back up and it sat on a shelf for about a year. Then I got brave again and decided to face my fears and learn how to use it. Now, I don’t know why I didn’t embrace it sooner. I use it one to two times a week , such a time saver that I love.

One Pot Chili Mac

October 12, 2017 by Debbie 4 Comments

One thing about me is I love quick and simple .I don’t know about most of you but certain times of the year we are on the run with our kids’ activities almost every night of the week. The fall is super busy for us and I am always in a hurry getting a meal on the table . Since we aren’t a fast food kind of family I love one pot meals. If I can have a meal cooked and on the table in under an hour I am a rockstar. This One Pot Chili Mac is not only quick but full of flavor. Using seasoning packets makes this a cinch and even a beginner cook can make this meal in a flash. This is a family favorite at our house and it is easy on the pocket book. Serve with a little side salad or a bag of steamed veggies and you will have a perfect meal your family will love.

French Bread Taco Pizza with Chipotle Ranch

October 4, 2017 by Debbie 3 Comments

When I was in my early twenties I was full of energy and enthusiasm . I thought I wanted to live in the big city of Houston , work at a major hospital helping save lives and stamp out disease. To make a long story short I am a small town girl and that only lasted about a year before I headed back to Louisiana . In that year I lived with my cousin Cathy Lynn and those are memories I will cherish forever. Some of the fondest memories I have of that time is late night pokeno games with my grandmother and Aunt and then it would be Cathy Lynn and I whipping up meals in a tiny kitchen on a shoestring budget. We needed money for our weekend trips and shenanigans , not groceries lol. This was in 1995 so only rich people had computers and Pinterest didn’t exist yet and all we had was our imagination . One of the things we made often was french bread pizzas , it was delicious and affordable. Taco french bread pizza was one of our favorites and this is just a little more grown up version of what we made back then. It is still just as yummy and affordable.
