Happy President’s Day. 

This holiday still confuses me. Am I the only one? 

I loved it when I worked in the financial industry because we got the day off. BUT! Now, that I work for myself I still don’t know why the Federal government calls this day a holiday. I do know that it used to be a celebration for Washington’s birthday, but that got axed. 

Can you image If you were Washington, the first dude to be the symbol of freedom and they told you, “Um, George, we had a change in plans. Some of other presidents weren’t feeling appreciated so we had to change your birthday celebration to include everyone. Sorry.”

If I was George, I’d be like, “Homie don’t play that.” Well, maybe he wouldn’t say that very clearly because the man did have wooden teeth. Anyway, I need another cup of coffee if we are going to talk politics so instead lets chat real quick about these Sheet Pan Chicken Shawarma Fajitas. 

Another quick, like ridiculously quick, meal to make during the week. All you have to do is toss the chicken with some spices and then throw it on a baking sheet along with the veggies. Roast and in 30 minutes you have an extremely delicious meal on the fly.

If you aren’t into the shawarma seasonings you can definitely sub in Mexican or even Greek would be delicious. Once everything is cooked just load it up with all the toppings. Bonus: you could even put the baking sheet on the table and serve it family style. Um, no mess? Yes, please! 

Hope you guys have a great Monday!
