I confess, I am not a big football fan, but my husband is, and I know a lot of people enjoy getting together to watch the big game. Here’s a couple of recipes for game day get togethers.

Chicken fajitas

Cut into strips, 1 pound boneless chicken breast
1 T cornstarch
2 T lemon juice
1 t garlic powder
1 t seasoned salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t oregano
1/8 t liquid smoke flavoring
2 T oil
1 c green bell pepper strips
1 c onion wedges thinly sliced
1/2 c salsa
warmed flour tortillas
sour cream

In a medium bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. cover and refrigerate 2-8 hours to marinate. Discard the marinade. In a skillet, heat oil until very hot. Saute chicken until just cooked. Add green peper and onion; cooking until crisp tender. Add tomato and salsa; simmer one minute longer. Serve immediately in tortillas, top with additional salsa and sour cream. You can also substitute on pound of beef steak, cut across grain in 1/4 inch strips, or raw shrimp, peeled and deveined.

Tortilla Black Bean Casserole
2 c. chopped onion
1-1/2 c green pepper, chopped
14-1/2 can tomatoes chopped
3/4 cup picante sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 t. ground cumin
15 oz can black beans, or red kidney beans drained
12 6-inch corn tortillas
2 c fat-free Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

In a large skillet, combine onion, green pepper, undrained tomatoes, picante sauce, garlic and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Stir in beans. Spread one-third of the bean mixture over bottom of a 13×9 pan. Top with half of the tortillas, overlapping as necessary, and half of cheese. Add another third of the bean mixture, then remaining tortillas and bean mixture. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut in squares to serve. Makes 10-12 side servings or 6-8 main dish servings.

These receipes came from the Gooseberry Patch Holidays at Home Book. I have most of their books and they have great decorating ideas as well as recipes.

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
