Cooking at Home: Steak Fajita Plates with Lime Crema and Sweet Potato Rounds

Steak fajita plates with lime crema and sweet potato rounds
My mom is currently staying with me because her house is on multi-listing, so I ordered double the amount of Hello Fresh kits for this week. She's someone that doesn't like carb-heavy dishes like pasta or burgers, so tonight's dinner was steak fajita plates with lime crema and sweet potato rounds. Okay, first of all, I cooked some goddamn perfect medium-rare steaks. I don't often use the word "perfect" to describe my cooking, but yeah, I nailed it with these. Also, my air fryer roasts veggies better than my oven can because, yes, those sweet potatoes also came out perfectly. (The lime crema was supposed to be cilantro-lime crema, but y'all know cilantro is evil so I threw it out the moment I opened this kit.) But even she, someone who criticizes all food, said dinner was "kind of salty, but pretty good." So I stay winning.

Cooking at Home: Queso-Topped Chicken with Sweet Pepper and Roasted Potato Jumble

Queso-topped chicken with sweet pepper and roasted potato jumble
Tonight's dinner kit from Hello Fresh: Queso-topped chicken with sweet pepper and roasted potato jumble. Pretty decent, though there was nothing queso about this queso. It was literally just chicken breast topped with shredded cheddar. There are so many good queso recipes out there that take maybe an extra five minutes to make which would've made all the difference. The chicken was saved by the salsa, which is really where most of the flavour came from. Yes, it's seasoned with enchilada spice blend, but it's not enough. What this dish really needed was heat, like chili peppers or jalapeños. And, you know, real queso.
