Skinny, flame-grilled steak fajitas make the perfect quick and easy weekend recipe. Summer is on the rise and I am absolutely elated! Summer is my FAVORITE time of year. I love hot weather. The hotter, the better. You will rarely hear me complain it is too hot. I recently returned from a vacation in Phoenix. The temperature averaged around 100 degrees. That was perfectly fine for me! I spent a ton of time at the pool. It was an incredible trip.
