My FAVORITE meal when we go out to eat is Fajitas! How can you go wrong with steak (I usually get both chicken and steak), veggies, guacamole, sour cream and cheese! Of course I pass on the corn chips and tortillas but you don’t need those things when you have all of this goodness on…

Variety. Some say it is the spice of life. I created this lasagna to add a little variety to my upcoming cookbook. So many times, we cook the SAME ‘OL foods!

This recipe, Daddy’s Chicken Perlo, is featured in the Main Dishes section of Satisfying Eats Cookbook. When daddy cooked, he never followed a recipe.
