🌶️ Freezer Chicken Fajitas (10-minute prep!)



Hi Reader,

Can we talk about how fast fall gets busy? One minute it's lazy summer dinners, and the next I'm staring into the fridge at 6pm wondering what on earth we're eating.

That's exactly why I've been stocking my freezer with these Freezer Chicken Fajitas. They're one of my favorite secret weapons for weeknights (and honestly, a little gift to my future self).

Here's how easy they are. You add chicken strips, sliced bell peppers, lime juice, avocado oil, and a simple spice mix to a ziploc bag, then freeze it flat. That's it. About 10 minutes of prep, and no blanching the peppers first!

When you're ready for dinner, just thaw the bag overnight in the fridge. Then sear everything in a hot skillet or roast it on a sheet pan. The whole batch keeps in the freezer for up to 3 months, so you can make a couple of bags at once (I usually do).

A few ways I like to serve them:

Have a great week! 💛

Cheers,

Tessa

Pumpkin chili in a bowl.

Hi Reader, Every November I end up with canned pumpkin in my pantry (and usually a half-open can in the fridge that I promised myself I’d use). So this week I’m trying something new: one ingredient, three ways. Here’s the plan. Grab two cans of pumpkin. One goes into a big pot of chili. The second gets split between a snack and a loaf of pumpkin bread, and you’ll have a spoonful or two left for your coffee (more on that at the end). For dinner: Vegetarian Pumpkin Chili This is my go-to...
