Meggan, your Mexican recipes all sound wonderful! I’m going to make the chicken fajitas for Cinco de Mayo.

Youโre so nice, thank you! I donโt have any eBooks for sale at this time, but Iโm always curious to hear what people want. I appreciate your input! Thank you again. ๐ – Meggan
I can personally vouch for the deliciousness of the chicken and steak fajitas and the chicken tinga, and the enchiladas, and, and, and the Cincinnati chili. OK, itโs not Mexican but who cares? Itโs delicious. ๐๐
