When it was our turn to host, I used my peeler to make long skinny zucchini noodles that I cooked with some butter and garlic and then added in some…

I’ve always loved fajitas, especially because it was one of the few times as a kid that I got a meal loaded with veggies that my Dad would actually eat! In our house, fajitas were always a hit, and I always asked Mom to make them! I never realized as a kid though, how much work Mom really put into the fajitas – slicing veggies…
