Fajita Seasoning

By -
I meant to post this a while ago, because this works great with the Southwest Chicken Salads.   This is really easy to make and I just store it in a plastic bag with my other seasonings.  I make chicken fajitas a lot and this is really tasty and easy. 

3 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp sugar
2 1/2 tsp crushed chicken bouillon
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or less if you like it less spicy)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.  Pour into a glass or plastic container, seal tightly and store in a cool, dry place.  Makes equivalent of 3 packets of Fajita Seasoning Mix (about 3 TBS each).

Crunchy Oven-Fried Fish

First of all, I think this is a great idea and I hope everyone will post lots of their favorite recipes.  I feel like I call for recipes all the time, especially mom, so this is a good way to share and keep them organized in one place too, so thanks Rachel! I'm making this fish tonight, and it's really yummy so I thought I would post the recipe for you guys to try.  I love, love, fried fish and it's really tempting to order it all the time with all the great seafood we have out here in MA, but it's not the healthiest choice.  I found this recipe in a recent Weight Watchers magazine and decided to try it, as it claims is is just like the "reel" deal, and I have to say, it is about as close as you can get. Enjoy! Prep: 20 min - Bake: 20 min - Serves: 4 1/4 C all-purpose flour 3 large egg whites 1/3 C fat-free mayonnaise 2 T all-purpose flour 3/4 t paprika 1/2 t garlic powder 4 high-fiber crispbreads, crushed 1 1/2 t olive oil 1/4 t salt 1/4 t black
