One of our favourite cuisines and dishes in our house is Mexican fajitas. Most of the time we use chicken but on the odd occasion I will make steak fajitas for a nice change. Ingredients (makes enough for 4-5 wraps) 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips 1 large onion, sliced 2 medium/large peppers, sliced 1 tbsp oil (though using the Ozeri Stone Earth pan like I do you need less than 1 tsp) 2 tsp chilli powder (I use mild when J is eating them, hot when he’s not – I love the spice!) 1 tsp paprika (can use smoked if you …
Foodie Penpals – May reveal
Once again my foodie parcel was a bit lot late – it was worth waiting for though if only for the chocolate! I had a few items from overseas this time as my penpal Kelly was going abroad on holiday before sending my parcel, so I was looking forward to receiving things I may not necessarily have had before. In there was a mixture of sweet & savoury items. First up the yummy sweet treats: a bar of 72% dark chocolate with almonds. I usually eat milk chocolate so this was a lovely change.

N is gaining weight steadily now and heading along the 75th centile – he was on the 25th when he was born! When he turned 3 months he was around the 15 lb mark, so he has more than doubled his birth weight and is a proper chunk now, just like his brother was! He’s in his his brothers 3-6 months clothes now and even some of those are getting small for him! He obviously loves …
