It's hard to believe, but it feels like summer is winding down. I don't know if it's the unseasonably cool temperatures we've been having, or that all the schools are back in session, but I am seeing fall on the horizon, which is incredibly exciting because it is easily my favorite time of the year!!

If you could only eat one cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be? Hands down, I would choose Mexican food. First of all: Margaritas. Second of all: Nachos.

Hawaiian Fusion Steak Fajitas

Posted In: Beef | Recipes
When I was in Austin a few weeks ago, I made it my mission to visit my favorite restaurant in town, Hula Hut. Not only is their chip dip game strong, they have a killer sizzling Hawaiian Fajita plate. After eating my weight in chips and dip (as per usual), by the time the fajitas came to the table, I was honestly not even hungry anymore. But I was at HULA H[...]
