Chicken Strips & Fries
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner, lunch
Yesterday evening I was facing the usual weekend dilemma – what to make for dinner. I plan our meals for two weeks at a time, but we’re right at the end of the two weeks and we were also busy most of the weekend, so I didn’t have time to do any grocery shopping. I [...]

I thought after my last post about the brioche with chocolate ganache, things couldn’t really get much better – but then I tried these. They are made from the same brioche dough, but they’re fried.

Grilled Fajitas
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner, lunch
Believe it or not, a couple nights ago, I was tired and didn’t feel like cooking. However, I’m secretly glad about that, because hubby cooked up his version of my beef fajitas, grilled style. They were gooooood. And just as easy as my wok style fajitas. Here’s what he used. Servings: 6 1 lb beef sirloin [...]
