Maple Pecan Blondies

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!  Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time.

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

This recipe is definitely one you can make on a weeknight. You could even prep the chicken and veg the night before to make it faster - there's no harm in letting it marinate overnight. I have done this in the past.
