If you live in the east, then you already know that it is hotter than hot…and that is pretty hot!
I have seen the temperature this week rise to 110 with the heat index and felt like I could not breathe outside. I have not felt that way since my time in Nevada when I was a teenager. That was a pretty scary feeling.
I am grateful for my grill outside. This is something that over the past year I am finding myself using more and more, in fact we use it all year round. I can do that in Maryland (another reason I love it here).
I usually do not buy pre-made spice packets because I already have so many individual spices at home. On this day I wanted fajita's and threw my own mix together. My family loved it and this salad was a hit, along with the salsa. ENJOY!
Recipe: Fajita Salads
To make meat:
1.5 pounds of top sirloin steak
1 red onion, sliced in half
2 bell peppers, cut in half with seeds removed
To make Fajita Spice, I used 1 teaspoon of each: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, smoked paprika, cumin and chili powder and a 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well.
Season the steak on both sides with liberal amounts of spice mix. Have your grill temperature get to about 400 degrees.
Add meat and veggies to the grill. You can use a veggie basket so that the onion does not go through your grill grid. Cook until charred on all sides.
Grill steak on both sides until meat is medium rare. Depending on thickness of your meat, this will take about 10-12 minutes. I recommend using a meat thermometer or checking the meat so that you do not over cook your steak.
Take meat off of the grill, cover and let rest while you prepare the onion/bell peppers.
Take the onion and bell pepper and slice into strips. Add olive oil to a saute pan and continue to brown the mix. The onion and bell pepper should start to caramelize and turn brown. Remove from heat.
Slice meat into thin strips. I used a platter to first add the bell pepper/ onion mix and topped it with the meat.
Prepare your salad. I used spinach and lettuce. I also served sour cream, salsa, jalapeno's and ranch for those that would like additional condiments.
You can add your favorite veggies to make this salad suit your families taste buds.

| My sister and I took a bicycle ride through the diamond district. This was the best! We screamed and laughed the whole way. The driver was amazing. We would come within inches of cars and people and he never had an accident. I will never forget this ride. |

| The carriage ride through Central Park was so much fun. It was a great way for my family to see a bit of the park and to learn some history too. |
