{Recipe} Oven-Baked Chicken Fajitas

Well, it's time one of my most popular recipes gets a much needed makeover. This is a favorite dish to make during the week.  I've played around with the recipe a bit...adding in shrimp (as you'll see in the latest version) & I've made it with steak. I've made this dish countless times since the original post, it's about time I updated the pics!

I love Mexican food. Probably because most Mexican dishes involve cheese and sour cream. It should come as no surprise that Fajita's aren't my go-to dish because they aren't typically covered in melted cheese. However, when I saw the photo of this dish on Real Mom Kitchen and then read how easy it was, I was sold.   This dish was FULL of flavor and pretty healthy (minus the part where I used some light sour cream and yes, I am guilty of adding a little cheese. Just a little!)

Yeah, there is no new photo of this. Anything in a tortilla is a pain in the ass to photograph.

  13. If you're a cake decorator and have school age children, you've probably made more than your share of bake sale baked recipes But have you heard about the cupcake sales at the Magnolia Bakery? This privately owned bakery is ringing up $40 K per week from their cupcake sales alone. Now that's some bake sale!
