Fajita Spice

If you are anything like me I have a complete drawer designated to spices, so who really needs to go out to buy that Old El Paso Fajita Spice?? Wait you mean you don't have a huge drawer of spice? and that I might have some serious food issues....yeah your probably right! No disrespect if purchasing the prepackage spice works for you, then you keep doing you. However, if you don't want to settle for the norm then here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 2 Tsp. chili powder
• 1 Tsp. salt
• 1 Tsp. paprika
• 1 Tsp. white sugar
• 1/2 Tsp. onion Powder 
• 1/2 Tsp. garlic Powder
• 1/4 Tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/2 Tsp. ground cumin

Mix all ingredients together and place in a container!

Dairy free Chicken Alfredo

For years I have loved Chicken Alfredo with penne noodles with extra cheese...now not so much! Thankfully James is very creative with trying alternative ingredients to re-create that favourite meal for me :) I'm a pretty lucky gal.

Ingredients:

• 946ML Almond milk (we normally use the Blue Diamond brand)
• 2 Tbsp of flour
• 3 Tbsp Steak spice
• 2 Tbsp Salt
• 2 Tbsp Pepper
• 3 Tbsp garlic powder
• 2 Tbsp onion powder
•  Spinach
• Mushrooms 
• Penne Noodles 
• Chicken breasts

Instructions:

1. Cook chicken until you see no pink.
2. Add Almond milk, flour, spices, spinach, mushrooms, and noodles into the same large skillet that you used to cook the chicken. 
3. Cook on high heat until it boils, then lower heat to allow to simmer. 
4. Cook covered for 10mins. Remove cover and cook for another 10mins or until sauce is reduced or thickened. 
5. Enjoy! 

Chicken Fajita Pizza

Nothing is more annoying then when you and your significant other want two different things for dinner, and neither of you want to cave for each other's choice.....Our Saturday story: "Hey babe want do you want for supper tonight?"....we are currently walking around in Superstore.... him: "I don't know what do you want?"....I start to roll my eyes and don't bother answering right away...then as we get close to leaving I say "I want pizza" him: "ok do you want chicken pizza or do you want pepperoni?"..."I would like chicken"...so we start to head towards the meat section and then out of no where he get's this ridiculous look on his face and says "wait I want Fajitas and you want pizza so....let's put that together!"

This is how Fajita pizza was made :) So here is the recipe.

Pizza Dough:

Thankfully we have a bread maker and pizza brick as both make this process very easy and delicious every time.

• 2 tsp. Dried granulated yeast
• 3 cups of Flour
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tbsp water

Add all ingredients and select pizza dough setting. Once that is done we heat up the oven for about 2-3 mins and then shut it off ( we also add the brick during this time to heat it up so it easier to roll the dough out). Take the dough out of the bread maker and place it in a glass bowl with a small amount of olive oil and roll it around and cover it with a tea towel and place in the oven for 20mins to allow for it to rise. Then remove brick and roll out dough on brick. You are now ready to add your ingredients!!

Fajita Mix:

• 3 pieces of chicken breast
• 1 Onion
• 2 Bell peppers
• Fajita Seasoning (we make are own but package one's work too)
• 1 can of pizza sauce 

Cut chicken into small pieces. Cut onion and bell peppers to your preference. In a skillet cook up chicken until fully cooked then add to a bowl. Place onion and peppers in the bowl and mix. Add Fajita seasoning and stir well until all ingredients are covered with seasoning. Add the pizza sauce to your pizza and then spread fajita mix. You may add cheese however we need to keep it dairy free in this house. Cook pizza for about 30mins at 350F. Cook time may very depending on your oven. Please enjoy!
