One-Pot Fajita Pasta

Good Morning you lovely lot! You alright? Hope so 🤞🏽 we’ve been doing things to keep our minds preoccupied so we don’t spend too much time dwelling on things as it just makes us really sad and there’s been too much sadness these past 18 months already and my Nan always had a smile on her face and was always laughing (that’s how I’ll remember her) so I don’t want to be sad every time I think of her. My sister has been sending us photos and videos of Isaac to cheer us all up which has helped a lot 😀

Anyways…shall we get on with todays post? as we’ve not really been very motivated to try and cook anything new, we’ve resorted to one of our old favorites to make which is also quick and easy to whip up in minutes! and I wanted to share the recipe with you lovely people 🍽️
