You know those weekends that run by at 100 miles per hour and then, all of a sudden, it’s Monday? Well, that was certainly my past weekend. I still have family in town, and I am trying to keep up with them as much as possible. We did a big dinner out Friday night. That was a blast!  Then, we did a huge get-together on Saturday, potluck style. With the fast-paced weekend almost over, we went to have a nice breakfast at mom’s house Sunday morning, and then we headed back to our house to veg out. My wife and I chilled out for a few hours before heading to the store to replace a vacuum cleaner that started smoking on the job (due to all the dog hair it ingests, no doubt!). When things finally settled down, I threw together a dinner I thought would be a lot of fun. . . and it ended up awesome.

My Philly Cheese Steak Style Quesadilla went over so well that I thought why not try it with nachos. Man, they were great, and we completely devoured them. It was hot outside, so we grilled them indoors on our stove-top griddle.
