fajita's ay yi yi!

what's on the menu today? FAJITAS!
This is something that I have never made but I have always wanted to. So I thought i'd give it a go...
I am just using a Fajitas mix I got from the grocery store, you can really add whatever veggie's you like. But I chose a yellow, green peppers, and some onion.


First step is to chop the peppers, you chop them anyway you like really, I think the package suggests you to cut them into strips.


Cut chicken into small strips or chunks,  drizzle a bit of  olive oil in the pan and fry over medium heat til you don't see anymore pink on the meat. Drain pan and set meat aside


Add remaining olive oil to pan and fry veggie's over medium heat til they have a goldeny look to them


Put chicken back into the skillet, with the veggie's. Put in seasoning packet and water and let fry for about five minutes. Stirring occasionally



When it is completely cooked, bring to table, add toppings and ENJOY!
these are the toppings I used


This was a quick and easy recipe. In which you can change it to fit your liking



Recipe
1/2 a green pepper
1/2 a yellow or red pepper
a small onion
seasoning packet
tortilla's
boneless skinless chicken or steak
water
olive oil

Condiment suggestions
sour cream
salsa
lettuce
cheese
tomatoes



-Til next time!

Vanilla and Apricot

Vanilla is something that is inserted in nearly every sweet recipe these days. I love vanilla so much that I almost the entire collection of Warm Vanilla Sugar from Bath and Body Works. It smells so good I could eat it! So, I had been wanting to try something different. Seems like you don't find too much apricot in recipes these days.
    This is what I came up with....                                                                 
Vanilla Cake with Apricot and Cream Filling
Apricot and cream? hmm...
What you will need: 
1 box French Vanilla Cake Mix
1 1/2 - 2 Jars of Apricot Jam
1 Tub of Whip Cream

This recipe is really easy!
Directions:
1. Make the cake according to the directions on the box
(i used two 8" round pans)
2. Let cake cool completely
3. Cut the top of the cake so it is an even flat surface
4. Place one cake on plate (or wherever you would like to keep it)
5. Layer cream and jam, doesn't matter the order
6. (repeat steps 4 and 5)
7. (repeat step 4)
8. Top with either cream or jam or add something different!
(p.s. I cut the 8" rounds in half so the cake wouldn't be so thick, it was really easy to layer this way)
I hope you enjoy!
