FALL in love with Dinner Time!
October is my favorite month! Back to school jitters are gone and routine takes hold- I LOVE routine! But, with routine can come ruts; especially at dinner time. Below is a recipe for scratch made fajita seasoning- great with chicken, beef, or shrimp. But, instead of using the main dish as traditional fajitas try making fajita bowls! They are a very healthy way to enjoy all the delicious flavor of Mexican food. My favorite part of this recipe is the way in which everyone can customize their own dinner without extra work for mom or dad! And while you're at the dinner table, take the time to connect. Below are some fun things to ask/discuss at the table!
Eat Well and Be Well,
Bridgett

Fajita Bowls
Seasoning:
2t chili powder
1T cumin
1t onion powder
1t garlic powder
1t paprika
1/2t oregano
1/4t salt
Fajitas:
1 pound chicken or beef or shrimp
2 bell peppers, cut into strips
1 onion, sliced
1/4C vegetable oil
Items for bowls:
Cooked brown rice
black beans
fresh lime
avocado
cilantro
jalapeno
 
Combine all seasoning ingredients and mix with oil. Place meat and onions and peppers in a gallon plastic bag. Add oil and seasoning mixture and close tightly. Incorporate well and let sit in fridge for about 20 minutes. Spread mixture onto baking sheet and discard mixture and bag. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, until meat is cooked through (shrimp will take less time). Assemble in bowls and enjoy!

Cooking Classes through December are scheduled now!
Cooking Classes are a great way to spend an evening and sharpen your culinary skills! Classes are available each week.

I am thrilled to announce the Cooking 101 Workshop- it's designed for adults who feel lost in the kitchen. It is an intensive all day class teaching basic techniques, how to build a pantry, how to plan meals and safely prep food. There will be extensive opportunities for hands on cooking with instruction along with printed recipes and resource materials. Each student also receives a one on one follow up hour with me to ensure you are applying your new skills! This would make a wonderful gift for someone! Details at the link below.

The first two weeks in December are blocked for private classes in the kitchen. Spots are still available and filling quickly. Call me to get details and to book your evening for friends, family, or co-workers! 920.445.1489
KIDchen Classes are available!
Classes are available for children 8 years or older. Private events for birthday parties, home schoolers, and scouts are available. Contact me for details. 920.445.1489
Foodies Join Forces-
A New Partnership!
Beginning Wednesday October 18th:
416 soup will be available at Great Harvest Bread in De Pere! Hot and ready to eat! I'm not sure their sandwiches and bread can get better, but a side of 416 soup certainly won't hurt! Visit Brent and the rest of the "Breadheads" and savor what both businesses have to offer!

What's Cooking in the Kitchen?
Today, I made a new variety of stuffed shells- beef, bell pepper, and onion. The freezers are STOCKED with lasagna, ravioli, soups, meat sauce, stuffed peppers, and chili! Pop in and pick up what looks best to you! The menu is available online, so if you see something you MUST have- let me know and with a day notice, I will make it for you! And don't forget dessert!
