#1 healthy and ridiculously easy. Chicken fajitas. And I probably shouldn't count this as a recipes since it comes from a mix- but it's so wonderful that I couldn't not share.
I've always loved fajitas- but this mix from McCormick makes them a perfect ten. The mix has lime juice in it and I think that's what makes the difference. Add the cheapest colored peppers you can find, some onions, and any other veggies you love- and voila- you've got one delicious meal. We also love to add fresh salsa, guac, and sour cream. Use whole wheat tortillas and you've got a whole grain along with your veggies and meat.
and #2. the not so healthy soup from my friend, Julie. It's unrealistically delicious. Although I did try and tone down the fattness just a little and it was still really really good. My changes are in black :) and kent thought it would be just as delicious to add carrots next time.
3 bouillion cubes (I use granules and did 3-4 tsp)
1 lb bag frozen broccoli florettes (I used about 1 bag florettes and 1/2 bag pieces)
1 small onion diced small
1/2 c butter (I did 1/4 c)
1/2 c flour (I did about 1/4 c)
2 tsp salt2 c milk (I did 1.5)
1 pack cream cheese (I used low fat)
boil the first set of ingredients until veggies are soft.
Make a roux with the butter and flour and then add the other ingredients to it. Stir until almost simmering. Add to the veggie and water. I took 1-2 cups of the broccoli and pureed it in the blender for a few seconds to add back to the soup.
Heat until hot and eat up.

Yum! I love these posts from you...and we're kind of in a rut around here.
Fajitas are seriously my go-to recipe because they're so dang easy and delicious. And I never get sick of them. I haven't tried McCormick's Fajita seasoning though...thx.
