'Mexajita' chicken with pinto beans

[njbearcub1]

Would it be bad if I said this was a Sandra Lee 'semi-homemade' meal?

Mexajita chicken (yeah, I have no idea what it means, but since it's Aunt Sandy, she probably just combined 'Mexican' and 'fajita'), chicken thighs with diced tomatos, jalapenos, and mushrooms, with pinto beans, on a bed of fajita onions and peppers.

And, ummm...now that I plated

Here I was trying to pronounce the name in Spanish. I did not make sense. lol.

I never heard her say it, so I wasn't even trying to pronounce it in my head. I only saw her plating it on an episode that rain Saturday morning, so I looked it up online, and I had all fof the ingredients in-house.

Reading the name, I *was* trying to figure out if it meant something, but I'm like, "It's Sandra Lee. There's no way in hell it makes any sense."

I like Sandra Lee. I was just telling my husband that her "cookery" just makes sense for when we don't have time to make everything from scratch. If anything, it works!

I kept pronouncing the "x" in Mexican as an "h" and the "j" as an "h" as well. I kept going over and over, and it wasn't until I read "Mexican + Fajita" that I said "Duh!"

I'm amused by the fact that on her 'Semi-Homemade' show, she's always telling people to buy the pre-cut veggies, for time savings. But, on her 'Money-Saving Meals', she has to do the opposite, because it's cheaper to buy whole ones and cut them yourself.
