Our Family Staples
Sharing some of our favorite staple meals below! Great for busy nights, when you want to add a twist to leftovers, or when you just want some new recipes to try!
Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients:
2 pounds of chicken breast (diced or cut into strips)
1 frozen bag mix of onion and peppers
Fajita seasoning (we make ours)
Flour or corn tortillas
2 cans of black beans
Toppings: white queso (sometimes I buy it and sometimes I make it) and sour cream
Instructions:
Season the chicken with seasoning then cook in a skillet or on a griddle with onions and peppers.
Heat the tortillas, black beans, and queso
Assemble tortillas and add toppings
Note: We like to buy large tortillas and a bag of tortilla chips and use leftovers to make quesadillas or nachos!
Maybe I am bias, but cooking on a our outdoor griddle makes them taste so much better! Not to mention how fast and easy it is. It was definitely the best Father’s Day gift I could have gotten my husband!

Pizza crust (homemade is cheaper, storebought tube is quicker)
Pizza sauce (we have been making our own but we also love the classico)
Mozzarella cheese (I buy the block and shred it myself)
