I don’t buy food magazines very often. Those things are so expensive. I have a hard time paying $10 for a monthly publication which is mostly ads and recipes I will never cook. I also have a hard time throwing them away. I mean I paid $10 for that thing! I am keeping it! Which is why I had every issue of Gourmet magazine published in the last 4 years at my house that I threw (most) of away when we moved. I have holiday magazines from 7 years ago that I still cook out of for the holidays for crying out loud.

But, there are times when  give in. Times when I simply can’t help myself and give in to the temptation of a new magazine and then hide it from my husband so he won’t give me that look that says’ “Do you really need another cooking magazine?” My defense, of course, is that it’s research for new blog fodder.

You guys back me up if he asks, okay?

What I find, is that the magazine I most often come home with is a publication of Taste of Home Magazine. Which is funny because my mother and my late grandmother have had a subscription to that magazine since it began it’s tear-out recipe cards and a fairly difficult toothpick hunt within it’s pages ( I never could find that dang toothpick) As far as cooking magazine’s go, I feel like you get the most bang for your buck. There aren’t any ads and the recipes are realistic for family meals. You don’t have to wade through a bunch of fluff about the new stylish whisk that just came out or what shade of Jello best matches your eye color. It’s just recipes. Good, solid recipes. I’m not getting bamboozled. I’m getting every penny of what I am paying for. I appreciate that.

    These chicken fajitas sound so delicious, and are so much more healthy than their fried counterparts. I’d say this magazine purchase was well worth it!

    LOL! Love the story about buying food magazines. I get a stack every month and most of the time don’t even get to look at them and I certainly rarely make the recipes. You can get the recipes online now anyway. SO, why do we take the magazines? I have seen Taste of Home, but now will have to pick it up and check it out. This recipe looks very good. Your photos look great, BTW. Nice spot to take pics by the window. 🙂 I also LOVE your new look! Hope everyone is settling in over there in TN!

    I never buy food magazines. My Grandmother gets every copy of BBC GoodFood anyway, so I can;t read them all for free, which is nice. This recipe looks and sounds delicious. Love the photography. Really nice post and blog. Please check mine out, it’s trying to do a similar/the same thing!

    Hi – found you through Pinterest! Your instructions don’t say – do you drain tomatoes and chilies? From the looks of the picture, the mixture is pretty dry before you pour on the sauce. Thanks!

This is perfect! And half a batch is just right for 1 meal for my family, so I froze the other half for an even quicker meal later on!

    Thank you!

    these are pretty good for baked fajitas… my nutrition calculator puts these at around 300 calories per serving (assuming there are 4 servings but i think i have closer to 6) and without the tortillas. i will definitely make these again but i may use less cumin next time and add more heat with jalapeno or cayenne. i also made guacamole to add to the top, along with some plain greek yogurt in place of sour cream. thanks for the recipe!

    This sounds wonderful! Every time I make the simple, chicken fajitas with just onions and bellpeppers, my family ends up pulling out everything except the chicken. Obviously, they’re always still hungry! With your recipe, I’m thinking they’ll keep it together! The one change I’m going to try is getting some of that frozen onion and bellpepper stir-fry, just to streamline the (cutting) process. (Besides, that way, the veggies will be smaller — and harder to pull out!)

    QUESTION, please: What can I have *with* the fajitas? I’m always at a loss to know what to have as a side dish. I was already going to add refried beans. Is that enough? Should I add something else?

      I usually will have rice and beans,or
