Chicken Fajitas


I was at my local Meat Farms yesterday and I always head straight for the reduced produce rack. It is either a hit or miss. Yesterday was a hit. They had 6 yellow peppers for $1.99 and 6 cucumbers for $1.59. So dinner was Chicken Fajitas. I had everything else on hand. My daughter managed to sneak a few of the slices of peppers to snack on. All the rest went into the freezer for future uses as omelets, chili, or sausage and peppers.  I added a side of rice and beans and dinner was served.

    Got to love those mark-downs. I check all mark down areas first at the grocery.
    The meal sounds delish. It sure is nice to have those items on hand when preparing a meal.
    Have a good day.

    Those fajitas look wonderful! I had Rob check the reduced bread, produce and Whoo-Hoo rack when he was doing the shopping this weekend, but there was nothing there that we needed. I'm glad you scored! I keep frozen peppers all the time. When I get extras from the garden in the summer, I chop them up and put them in baggies. Then, I put all the little bags into a huge bag and put them in the freezer in the shop. I bring in a small bag for the kitchen freezer to use and replace when needed. It sure makes meal prep faster!

      I do the same thing with the peppers. I chop some small and I do some in slices. It really does make meal prep easier. I do it with lots of things like onions, ham, celery. I grow peppers in the summer but we go thru a ton so I couldn't pass these up.

Ice Cracking

Hubby and I went away for a long weekend with another couple. We would walk down to the lake everyday. It was so quiet. The only noise was the ice cracking. It was so peaceful. I can't wait to go back.

I Quit My Job!

I have been working at a movie theater for the past 13 years. I started when my YD was still at home. I had been babysitting a friend's daughter and she had started school. We needed the money so I got a part time job there for nights and weekends. It worked for us because Hubby watched the kids. I didn't have to pay anyone and I didn't want a stranger watching my kids. When YD started school, I transitioned from nights to days. But I still had to work weekends and holidays.  The movie theater is open 365 days a year. We have only been closed on 1 day since I started, Super Storm Sandy and that was because the state mandated it. We are open every holiday, every snow storm, everyday. When I took the job, I knew that. I signed paperwork saying I would work weekends and holidays, that I had a reliable car and could get there in any weather.  13 years is a long time. I have seen many changes there over the years, some good, mostly bad. There are only 7 people in the theater...
