Food. Our little lives revolve around it. Travel and food was what brought my husband and I together. If only our girls would love the variety of tastes and textures that we do...But all hope is not lost for as they grow older (currently 5 and 7), their little taste buds are awakening to the magic that is flavour. No more bland, tasteless, boring meals. They are evolving ("Our taste buds keep changing Mum..that's why I like your cooking now. Well some of it." )
After a day of feasting on delicious hand-picked strawberries, we decided to have a bit of a Mexican fiesta at home. My husband and I were fortunate enough to live in Los Angeles for a few years and we became addicted to Mexican food. Our trips to Mexico were spent eating until we could fit no more. Heaven.
Upon our return to Australia, we tried for years to copy the flavours of Mexican 'carne asada' and never managed to get it right. Fortunately, I stumbled upon an already marinated mexican fajita meat at Woolworths and bang! Closest thing we have come to it. Not quite the same but pretty close.
And best of all, the girls love it.
