April is here!! Weather is warmer and we are taking advantage of grilling outside. One of my daughter's favorite is shish taouk. I serve it with hummus pita bread and fattoush salad. So for her April birthday we celebrated it with her favorite food and some of her favorite friends! Thanks for coming !!! :)
