Grilling as a 2015 First

Hubby with the grill all ready to go
 

Within days of the new year, the hubby decided we were in store for some Carne Asada. This is a very tasty Mexican steak. Of course I was all for that. The weather was nice and the kids were eager to play outside while hubby manned the grill. Meanwhile inside I was frying up some potatoes, because we don't buy bagged French fries. I was also attempting to use my new tortilla maker.

 Hubby and I prefer to cook as a team, and we each have roles we comfortably fill. Normally I am the food prep, and drink preparer. Since cooking comes naturally to hubby, he is usually the main course preparer. He can tell when I am struggling with a new recipe and step in and save the day. This is one of the things I love about him.

When I make any kind of fried potatoes I add garlic powder and salt. It gives them a very yummy taste. I fry them for at least 30 minutes.

The tortilla mix that I used was made by my mother-in-law several days prior, so we decided to do a form of cheese roll ups for the kids. 



 

Once these are all rolled up, you put them in a skillet with hot grease and fry them until they are a light golden brown on each side. They almost melt in your mouth as they are so soft and delicious.

 

 

You can't have Carne Asada without tortillas and on this day we had homemade tortillas!

 

 

This was a meal for the whole family to enjoy. As you can see we also had some hot dogs too.

Let every meal be a time to bring your family together. Sit down at the table, say grace and talk about the day. It's a tradition that not many families follow today, but a very important one for us. Sometimes, we even do dinner and a movie, which is where we either pick up a pizza or make something small and everyone watches a movie and eats around the coffee table. Food is an excellent way to bring families together.
