We had a few Hispanic people working on our house and I was a bit hesitant to serve them “their” traditional dish, having it taste completely different. But since I was grilling the food right next to them, I decided to share. These are the people who literally grew up on fajitas, and they loved the dish!

I was proud of myself too, since these turned out darn good! It has a combination of vegetables and protein, tastes light, but at the same time very filling. This is not exactly a traditional recipe, but a version of my own. You’re going to absolutely love it.

Cookina and Colman’s Mustard

  • Cookina and Colman’s Mustard have sent me this products to try out for our summer BBQ. The grilling sheet is amazing and you can actually find it at Home Depot. This mustard has good spice to it, reminds me a lot of the mustard that is sold in the European markets.
