Skinny, flame-grilled steak fajitas make the perfect quick and easy weekend recipe. Summer is on the rise and I am absolutely elated! Summer is my FAVORITE time of year. I love hot weather. The hotter, the better. You will rarely hear me complain it is too hot. I recently returned from a vacation in Phoenix. The temperature averaged around 100 degrees. That was perfectly fine for me! I spent a ton of time at the pool. It was an incredible trip.

This is my favorite part of the steak grilling process! Look at how juicy this steak is!
Being the foodie I am, I also look forward to summer because I love to grill. I switch it up with my grilling a lot. I grill a lot more than just meat. In this recipe, you will find juicy, grilled steak, veggies, and I even tossed the fajita on it for great texture and an amazing grilled taste.
I’m often asked for tips on how to stay focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle during some of the hardest times. From my observation, the “hard times” are usually holidays, birthdays, and of course summertime! During summer we spend a lot more time outdoors. During the winter months it’s easy to stay in, binge watch tv, and really hibernate. When spring and summer arrive, we can not wait to flee our homes for outdoor parties, happy hours, and events. These events create TEMPTATION.
For me, I have fully adjusted to and embraced a continuous healthy lifestyle. My lifestyle affords me so much opportunity in terms of what I can eat while maintaining the body type I want. Getting to that level took time and a LOT of education. More importantly, it took willpower! Willpower is exactly what you will need to carry you through the hard times. Pair your willpower with healthy recipes. Stay Snatched recipes focus on the ability to reward yourself with tasty dishes that are filled with yummy ingredients that are macro-friendly.
When I first set out on this journey I was extremely frustrated. Most recipes available via google and social media showcased dishes that were bland and were not thrilling. That would leave anyone discouraged. Focus on ways to eat healthy without having to deprive yourself of delicious food.

These look like the tastiest fajitas ever! I don't think I've ever tried avocado before, but it's everywhere at the moment. I definitely need to give a recipe including it a try :)
