Hello!
Today was it not only FREEZING again, but it snowed a lot more than we expected! I put a roast in the crock pot for dinner then whipped up some of my homemade fajitas for lunch. The recipe is a concoction I developed after trying several different recipes and always finding something I didn't like. I can promise that you will love this recipe, too! Maybe it will become a family favorite for your family, as well! (Scroll down to bottom of post for recipe).
The snow came down so much today! Besides having to drive in it for a short stint, I was happy that it snowed. I love the snow, it is always so beautiful!
Week ahead: I am hoping to continue with the daily postings, tomorrow will be a look into the progress of my bullet journal in a second #CujoForBujo video, so keep an eye open for it!
Wednesday will be #ReadingWednesday #PopSugarReadingChallenge2018 update and the rest, well, I will be as surprised as you! Don't forget to follow me on Twitter with the handle @ScrappyGidget for daily updates and news! Hope you guys had a great Sunday with you friends, family, and loved ones. How about those game upsets, huh?!
Bye for now!

RECIPE: Hayley's Homemade Fajita Rub (Makes 2-4 servings)
Ingredients:
2 Tbs Cornstarch 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tsp Chili Powder Flour or Corn Tortillas (taco size)
1 tsp salt Toppings of your choice (e.g. lettuce, tomato
2 tsp Paprika shredded cheese, Avocado, onion, etc.)
1 tsp White Sugar
2 tsp Onion Powder
2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 - 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional, to taste)
Vegetable (or olive oil)
Directions:
Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until well incorporated. On a cutting board, butterfly the chicken breasts in half length wise and sprinkle with a little salt (no more than 1tsp, optional). Cut each cutlet into 1/4-1/2 inch strips.
In a medium skillet, heat 2-4Tbs of oil over medium-high heat. Put all of the chicken strips in the medium bowl with the dry rub, tossing until evenly and well coated. Carefully add the seasoned chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until you can see the chicken starting to turn white. Use tongs to flip the chicken over to cook on the other side. Continue cooking the chicken for 10-15 minutes or until fully cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking you can prep your toppings for your fajitas.
Once the chicken is cooked through, turn the heat to high heat for a couple minutes, turning constantly, in order to get a crunchy exterior. Serve immediately in tortillas. Top with choice of toppings, and enjoy!
