Shrimp, bell peppers, onions, and seasonings come together in one skillet for delicious shrimp fajitas, drizzled with cilantro-lime cream, and wrapped in warm tortillas. This cooks quickly, so you'll want to have the shrimp cleaned and vegetables sliced before you begin. Top with avocado, pico de gallo, and cilantro, if you wish.

Easy Zucchini Bars
Light and moist, these flavorful and easy zucchini bars have been a favorite fall treat in my family for ages. If I am taking them to a party, I will add a little cream cheese frosting, but I rarely have time to frost them at home before my family devours them!
Holiday Coffee Liquor
One of our town's ancient citizens, Mabel Hill, passed away recently, but thanks to her grandniece, I was able to obtain her famous 'Kahlua®' recipe. For over 70 years, Hollis, New Hampshire people have been enjoying this holiday beverage! There is a scant amount more than the 5 pints, which I save for baking or to throw in my cocktail while making it.
Summer Meat Slaw
This summer meat slaw is the most exciting thing to happen to coleslaw in centuries. You can use leftover pulled pork—I used kalua pork—or any cooked meat, and it is unlike any slaw you've ever had. Your summer cookouts will never be the same.
