I enjoy making Southwest egg rolls. They’re SO easy (and you know easy are the only recipes that fly in my Homestead kitchen!)
They’re a delicious Tex-Mex favorite around here, crispy on the outside with creamy chicken filling on the inside. I’m sharing skillet fry AND air fryer directions.

I love fried chicken. What I don’t love is the added fat caused by all that soaked-in oil, or cleaning the grease-splattered mess left on my stove.
But now I use my Air Fryer to make healthier fried chicken without all that grease, y’all. Just a single tiny teaspoon of olive oil! And it cooks up fast too.

Chicken Fried Rice makes a whole new meal using leftover meat & rice with healthy vegetables to get supper on the table fast. A delicious yet very flexible recipe for those busy nights.

Planned leftovers is purposely cooking more at one meal with the intent of turning those leftovers into a completely different kind of meal the next night.
We’d purposely grilled more chicken & vegetables so I could incorporate planned leftovers for the next day (which means a night off cooking!) That excess grilled food was quickly changed into delicious homemade chicken fajitas in minutes.

I’m in the mood for a cheesy chile chicken casserole. This simple recipe can be cooked the traditional way in a standard oven. But I often cook it outside in my solar oven.
You see, today the temps outside are spiking and humidity is on the rise. It’s absolutely miserable outside! So I’ll be utilizing my solar oven to make my casserole.
The recipe below gives regular oven instructions though. So whether or not you have your own solar oven – read on, dear friends!

I have a simple Southwest Chicken recipe that I cook outside using just the power of the sun!
One of the included vessels when I bought my solar oven is a double-stack black enamelware covered pan. That will be perfect for today’s dish: Southwest Chicken served on a bed of seasoned brown rice.
Quick & easy, mix it & forget it. The whole meal cooks at the same time!

How many different meals can you make from a single whole chicken? I found six different ways to enjoy that whole chicken I cooked. I was surprised at how many times that one bird could feed us using the leftover chicken too. We’ve really gotten a lot of mileage with different meals out of this one bird. Check it out!
