Chicken, Steak, and Veggies- Fajitas

Your girl has been on a roll, Cookies! I’ve cooked everyday this week! Proud of me? Don’t be. I’m ending this madness today! lol But, I’m sharing Wednesday’s dinner with you. I made Chicken and Steak Fajitas.fajitas4 But, I ended up ditching the tortillas. And, omgoodness! It was so good! It was kinda like a burrito bowl minus the rice. Delish! And then I realized how good the meat and veggies were by themselves. You could just serve them with rice and boom!! Another easy, yummy dinner! Healthy too. So, I’m just going to share how I prepared the meat and vegetables and let you decide. Tell me how you’d like to serve it in the comments!

Love,

Shrimp, Peppers, And Sausage Over Grits

Ok, Cookies. I know I post a lot of calorie packed recipes, but I do cook a lot of lighter meals. All of the time! I just thought they were too boring to post lol Shrimp & Grits are comfort food heaven. I make many variations of it. This one is as light as I can make it! Lol the flavors of the peppers, onions, and sausage together are just unreal! If you’re not a fan of cheese (Bless ya heart) this one’s for you! I served them over grits this time. But it pairs well with quinoa and yellow rice too. Hope you try it and Enjoy!
