Tasty Fajitas



This fajita dish will be a hit at the dinner table, I promise. Here's your ticket to an authentic Mexican dish that is fast and easy and loaded with flavor:


Partially thaw 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast meat. Cut into 3 inch X 1/4 inch strips, and set aside to thaw completely. Rinse well and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each: seasoned salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and ground cumin; set aside.


On freshly de-germed cutting board slice a red and a green bell pepper and 1 medium onion into strips. Set aside.


Stir fry chicken strips in med-hot oil till nearly done; add peppers and continue cooking until the peppers just begin to wilt, not mushy, please.

Serve with fried rice and/or beans. Olay, as we say in the South...snicker.

Help the Birds Knit




Birds knit...and without any needles so why not give them the option of something with a bit of...style. Their nests are knitted works of art, and to help them in the quest for nesting material this spring I'm providing a plate of sky blue Kool-Aid dyed wool and small pieces of dishcloth yarn that have been cut from the beginnings and tails of my recent projects. I can't wait to check all the trees in my yard in the fall when the leaves drop off to see if it was actually used in their nests.
