So quick and easy, Ally, it practically made itself. Or maybe that was the family that made it while I supervised? Possibly. Either way, worth the very little effort required.

I haven’t made fajitas in years! What a good reminder that I should do that. Your recipe sounds great. All I need to do is get the ingredients and off we go to Mexico.

Zazzy, it seems you and I call lots of food things by different names. I remember you talking about cilantro, which is coriander over here. Oregano has the stress in a different place making it sound very different, eggplant (aubergine over here), herbs (we pronounce the “h”), chips (we call them crisps) just off the top of my head. I wonder how foods got such drastically different names within the same language?!

Mummy Plum, children seem to love putting together their own food, and I’ve read a lot about how if they get involved they are more likely to eat what they’ve made. Great way to introduce young ones to spice, too, as you can vary the amount you use. Hope you have fun!

I love fajitas too! Your recipe sounds great – though I had to look up courgettes (zucchini here). I wish someone wanted me to test their products. Very cool.

I love fajitas too – always a big hit with myself and the husband, but, I’ve never even thought about getting Pip to try them! Definitely going to try them with him now. I think he’d love making his own. (And great as well for getting some veg in by hiding the courgettes and peppers in the sauce.)

Cheese! OM, we forgot the cheese. Me and hubby just read your comment together and both realised at the same time. Something about eating dinner with your fingers really appeals to the little man. Probably because we spend a lot of our meal times reminding him about his knife and fork! Thanks for commenting. x

I love farjitas for the very same reasons you outline, and they are fun to make too. When we have made them, Little A has really enjoyed adding all the ingredients and dolloping on sour cream and grated cheese at the end. Yum. X.

Anya, I’m sorry you’re not getting the posts, it’s a bit worrying. I haven’t had a new notification that you’ve subscribed. I’ll get hubby to have a look at what the problem might be. Funny how a similar situation can have such different effects on people. Also, I’m amazed by the number of people telling me similar experiences. It was very, very unsettling as a child, less so from an adult perspective, but then as you grow you learn to accept that it is what it is and it can’t be changed.

Anya it was absolutely brilliant for children, because the eggs were so big and more or less all in one place and difficult to miss! Great to be back in the area.
