No Fajita Friday

Hi I am Becky Fusselman of “Growing Into Rebecca”.  I am a weight loss blogger turned into a weigh loss maintainer/food blogger in general after losing over 130lb.  Yes, that is right a whole person.  I enjoy food in general and am always in the mood for a good peanut butter preferably paired with chocolate.

I said No Fajitas!

I love cooking on Friday’s!  It is my normal day off and I get to decide what to make for our dinner together.  When I told Kevin I laid out steak for fajitas, he was a bit sad and said “Kind of wish we could just have steak.”  Therefore steak and potato night was born.  I just took the steaks (which were just a whatever cut as I thought I would be making fajitas) and marinated them all afternoon in a Fat Tire beer.  When I placed them on the grill I used a bit of Chicago Steak seasoning which is really just a salt and pepper blend.

While the steaks were cooking Molly our Boston and I ate some snap peas.  We are both a big fan of all sorts of summer produce.

Side Salad Ingredients

• 1 head of romaine lettuce
• 1 Roma tomato
• Half a cucumber
• ¼ small red onion
• 2 slices of dill pickle
• Topped with balsamic vinegar

We also cut some sweet potatoes thinly and used about 1Tb of olive oil with some chipotle seasoning.  These took about 40 minutes at 450 to get nice and crispy on the outside, but yet still a bit soft on the inside.

And with all that the No Fajitas on Friday dinner was served.

To finish off a great meal I turned a store bought angel food cake mix into this.

To make a delicious topping I used one pound of strawberries sliced, a few tablespoons of sugar and water.  I cooked them on the stove-top till they reduced in their own juices.  I cut the cake into wedges and topped it with the berry reduction.

I have to admit we used the Redi-whip out of a can though.  No heavy whipping cream here.
