The Best Ever! Tex-Mex Chicken Fajitas

Gambar
Happy Wednesday Slow Roasters!  It has been a fabulous week here at TSRI.  We have been gardening, cooking, eating, having family time and cooking some more.  Recently we have been cooking incredible recipes from a really cool blog. Herbie Likes Spaghetti which is written and developed by Bryan, YiRan, Herbie and Pepper.  Herbie and Pepper are the feline furbabies of Bryan and YiRan. It is really great to find blogs that are more of a team effort.  With the added benefits of an Italian inspired blog, with the cutest furbaby pictures ever they won me over.  The fabulous food really put me over the top, recipes like The Best Spaghetti all'Amatriciana which I have on the sajian for next week.  I am so excited to try this dish! Planting in my beautiful new garden! So as I was scouring delicious recipes casually perusing their blog, I must have been on a Mexican food kick.  Although I bookmarked Mario's Meatballs, Veal Scallopini Picata, a...

Cinco De Mayo Cocktails

Puckered JalapeƱo Frozen Margarita is the perfect cocktail. Spicy Jalapeno flavor in a cooling frozen cocktail, lemony sweet with a salted rim, served with a jalapeno. FIESTA!!! Sweet S...

Restaurant-Style Garden Fresh Salsa

This Restaurant-Style Garden Fresh Salsa is absolutely my kesukaane fresh salsa ever! This easy recipe is made with fresh vegetables and a secret ingredient to give it a a deeper flavor that truly makes it amazing. It is an incredibly simple salsa with little chopping. Just toss all the ingredients in your food processor and pulse until it reaches your desired consistency. Salsa is a staple here in the Southwest. This is my kesukaane kind. We call it "Just North of the Border Salsa". Living in Arizona we truly are just 'North of the Border', so it was fitting. I personally like a more fresh tasting salsa, one that I can eat without constantly dabbing my eyes and nose. Oh and I prefer not to have to take in a gallon of liquids to try to put out the fire (which doesn't work anyway, try a milk based remedy. I like to use a spoon of vanilla ice cream to sooth my taste bud fires). I have to say that my idea of salsa before I moved to Arizona was laughable. It ...
