Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas

April 18, 2023

 


Hello friends.  Do you ever run out of ideas to make for dinner?  Well, I have an easy air fryer meal to share with you.  It's air fryer chicken fajitas.  


The seasoning, chicken, and veggies prepared before going into the air fryer.


The cooked air fryer chicken fajitas.


Listed below are the ingredients you will need for the fajitas.



This is a fun meal to make for your family for dinner.  I hope you enjoy this as much as my family.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN FAJITAS


INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb. chicken tenders, cut into strips
  • 3 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 orange bell pepper, cut into strips
  • 1 onion, cut into strips
  • flour tortillas
  • white or brown rice
DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees F.
  2. Cut chicken tenders into strips.
  3. Place chicken, peppers, onion, olive oil, salt & pepper, and taco seasoning into a bowl.
  4. Mix everything together.
  5. Let mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.  When ready to cook set chicken & veggies out to get to room temperature.
  6. Preheat air fryer.  Spray air fryer with cooking spray.  Place everything in air fryer when ready to cook.
  7. Air fry 380 degrees F for 9 minutes, shake & mix everything, then cook for another 9 minutes.  Check if chicken is cooked.
  8. Divide equal amounts of chicken, peppers, & onion into tortillas.

NOTES:  I made white rice to add to the tortillas.  You can add salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on top of your tortillas.  Use any toppings you like for your tortillas.  I cooked the chicken and veggies all together in the air fryer.


*Taco Seasoning I used.

Friday Favorites - April 2023

April 14, 2023


Hello friends.  It's been a while since I've done a Friday Favorites.  I hope you all had a nice week.  The weather is so nice here and it's finally warming up with a lot of sunshine. 



It took me a while to find a crochet project that I was interested in making.  I found this Retro Granny Square Vest pattern and I decided that this would be fun to make.


I needed to buy the yarn and that turned into a problem for me.  I went to the Michaels store in my area but they did not carry the yarn I needed for this project.  Micheals online did not have the yarn colors I wanted either.  I had to order the yarn from Joanns in different colors than shown in the photo above. 


I found the packaging unique.  The yarn is shown below.  All of the colors are connected in a circular form.


I started the front of the vest.  I find the pattern for this vest very involved.  I am happy that I found a YouTube video to watch how to make the vest.


I'm loving the signs of spring in the city.


My cherry blossom tree bloomed in my front yard.


This past weekend it was so nice to see this Magnolia tree in bloom at our church.


On my most recent trip to Costco I picked up this package of herbs.  It has basil, mint, oregano, and rosemary.  I can't wait to plant these herbs outside in my yard.


Our neighbor loves to bake.  She made for us brownies with a macaroon topping.  We enjoyed these delicious tasting brownies.


We spent Easter with a family friend.  She gifted us Bacha coffee.  I can't wait to make this coffee as we are all coffee lovers.




Wishing you a happy Friday and weekend.

A Trip to Maine

April 10, 2023


Hello Friends.  We took a mini trip at the end of February to Portland, Maine. 



My husband and I have been talking about taking a trip to Maine for many years.  I love New England but we just didn't get around to going there for a vacation.  My husband had a few days off from work so we decided to take a car trip to Maine.  We came to a decision that we wanted to visit Portland.  It took us about five hours to drive to Maine.  On our drive we noticed snow on both sides of the highway.  Maine had about four inches of snow. 


We arrived at our destination with only stopping once at a rest stop.  We'd be staying at the Portland Harbor Hotel for a few days.  We arrived on Monday afternoon and left the hotel on Thursday morning.



The lobby was decorated in a nautical theme.  The lobby had free Starbucks coffee available every morning.  


We booked a small suite room since we would be staying in Maine for a few days.  It was nice to have a living room area and a separate bedroom.



The bathroom was a large size room too.


The hallway had a little pantry area to get free soda, coffee, tea, and snacks.


The stairway leading up to the lobby.


I love the little igloos they had in the yard to hang out in.


Our first night we walked to a nice Japanese restaurant for dinner.


The food was very good.  We shared steamed dumplings.  I had miso soup and scallops with potatoes and vegetables.  My husband had a sushi bowl.


The next morning we took a 15 minute walk, while snowing, to Becky's diner for breakfast. 


We had snow all day and night.  The snow did not stop us from going to the L.L. Bean store.  The drive from our hotel to the store was about 25 minutes. 


The L.L. Bean store had a huge selection of clothes.


The L.L. Bean flagship store has a pond in the store.  The store is opened 24 hours a day.


Maine is known to have moose in the area.  I had to have a photo in front of the moose.


I bought this two toned pullover that was on sale.  I enjoyed visiting the L.L. Bean store and the staff was so nice and helpful.  We had the whole store to ourselves which was nice.


We took a short walk that night for dinner at 3 Dollar Deweys Ale House.  I had clam chowder, and fish and chips.  My husband had fish tacos.


We enjoyed our drinks.  After dinner we walked around and found an ice cream store and shared chocolate gelato.


The next day we had breakfast a Marcys Diner.  We enjoyed our breakfast and coffee.


We took a long walk around the area after breakfast.  I was happy to have a sunny day to sightsee.



I bought a Maine sweatshirt in a cute shop called Cool as a Moose.


We enjoyed our last night in Portland, Maine.  We had dinner at the Old Port Sea Grill.  

Cocktails before dinner.


We enjoyed our appetizer of clams, oysters, and shrimp which we both shared.  I had lobster for one and my husband had lobster for two.  The food and drinks were so good.


This was our view of the street from the hotel lobby.  You can see snow on the cars and sidewalks.



It was nice to see some snow since we only had a dusting of snow this winter.


I would recommend visiting Portland and staying at the Portland Harbor Hotel.

It was so nice to get away for a few days to Maine.  I hope to go back again when the weather is warmer.  I'd love to see the lighthouses and take a boat ride.

Have you ever been to Maine?

An Easter Tradition

April 5, 2023

 



Hello friends.  I hope you all are having a good week.  It's a tradition in my husband's family to have Spaghetti pie and Pizza Rustica (Italian meat pie) for Easter.


I learned how to make this Spaghetti pie from my husband's Aunt.  It's delicious tasting and I've been making this every Easter season.


My husband put in a request this week for me to make spaghetti pie.  I made this yesterday and we all enjoyed it with a salad on the side for dinner.

I'd love to share this easy and delicious recipe with you.
