Beef fajitas

We had a lot of pot roast left, so I decided to try making fajitas. I used the sliced beef and cut it into strips and marinated it with hot sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder before I sauteed it.

Ingredients:

-1 red onion, cut into 1/4 inch pieces

-1 green pepper, cut into 1/4 inch pieces

-tortillas(I opted for white flour this time)

-salt & pepper

-hot sauce(Paul's favorite is Tapatio)

-garlic powder

Paul loved it, so I would say it was a success! I'll try it with fresh beef next time instead of using leftover pot roast...

Stuffed Squash

Squash, halved, then middles scooped out. 

 I experimented with stuffing squash. It was a success! Paul really liked it too, which is always a plus!

I used two types of squash, Italian and crooked neck. I'm not too positive what they're really called though.

I used leftover stuffing and potatoes to stuff the squash(what a great way to use leftovers, especially when there's no leftover main dish).

I served it with brown rice, it made a really great filling meal.

The stuffing: leftover potatoes, leftover stuffing, red onion, and celery

Salted and peppered with extra virgin olive oil. 

Stuffed and ready to go into the oven! I also stuffed green peppers and jalapenos. 

Completed! About 25-30 minutes of baking. 

Served with brown rice, great vegetarian meal!

Stuffed Chicken Breast with Bacon

I wanted to experiment with stuffing meat for a meal. I think this was a success! I made another version as well that used spinach with cheese as the stuffing(also very yummy). 

By cutting the chicken breast halves into three thin pieces, it made it easier for me to wrap the cheese filling. Cheese filling was made with ricotta, feta, and Parmesan cheese. I added some salt and pepper of course, but kept it pretty plain. 

By using toothpicks(learned this from a random recipe I found), it made it so easy to bake and made for a pretty presentation. You would have never guessed where the toothpicks were! You can't even tell they were there....nice. 

Before cooking, I used toothpicks to hold the meat together around the cheese stuffing. 

Right out of the oven, cheese is oozing out! 

Cut in half, yummy cheese filling!
