One serving of fajitas gives you a decadent combo of grilled chicken, peppers, caramelized onions, veggies, and spices all wrapped in a warm, toasty tortilla.

And while fajitas can certainly be a meal all to themselves, there are a few tasty side dishes that go perfectly with these hand-held delights....

Fried Green Tomatoes are unripe, tart green tomatoes fried up in a crispy cornmeal crust. They are a classic side that folks in the south have been making for generations.

Cinnamon French Toast Sticks I’m loving coming up with fresh takes on french toast! Growing up I always adored french toast but it was always the classic version drowning in syrup.

This was before the day when “sweet and salty” became all the rage and everyone I made this for were dubious until they took their first mouthful – then they were converted for life....

Fresh protein for the first half of the week, then vegetarian / pantry meals for the second half of the week!...
