Yes, it was raining I had the steaks and I wanted to eat them. So I Googled "How to cook a great steak in the house" and came up with a wonderful site that explained it step by step. After having followed it to the letter I ended up with two awesome steaks cooked to perfection! Here is is the link ... http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-cook-a-perfect-steak-in-the-oven-10849
It has been a busy wonderful summer so far. After having Gallbladder surgery and recouping for a couple weeks. I went to Florida for a week. Came home washed clothes and packed for 10 days in the Mountains with hubby and friends.
Then came home with plans to take Granddaughter off for a few days and all my grandsons but the baby camping for a few days. Well Granddaughter is booked on all my free days and grandsons are scattered so I can't seem to get them all together either! I will be going to visit baby Grandson this coming weekend with hubby. A fun time boating and playing with our youngest son and his son and if I plan it right a few hours to paint designs on the nursery wall.
So, to make a long story shorter ... I haven't really been cooking. I have cleaned my closet and drawers out yet again and painted a few pictures. I have spent hours and hours watching movies ... I love it. Hubby was gone this weekend to his Mother's so I had 56 hours straight to plant myself in front of the TV with The Hallmark Channel!
I printed out my 'The Fresh 20' meal plan, shopping list and recipes for the week and went food shopping. I love Aldi's their prices are great and I actually think they have the best vegetables other than the Farmers Market in our town. (I over slept Saturday and missed the Farmers Market.) So after buying a ton of fresh food, nothing is processed with the The Fresh 20, I am ready to get back into cooking this week. We have missed our healthy clean eating and after a couple weeks you really feel it.
If you hate trying to think of something to cook you will love The Fresh 20 program. All healthy great tasting meals at a very very good price. You only keep 20 things in your pantry, most you already have, and you only buy 20 things a week shopping. The meals work off each other to some extent but you are not eating leftovers. It tastes like we are eating at a restaurant every night and it's fast and easy. Here is the link if you'd like to check it out... http://www.thefresh20.com
I love finding new and different recipes on line also, The Fresh 20 turned me on to www.Foodie.com this week and in turn I found www.food52.com both have some great stuff and as always Pinterest!
I found this recipe on Food 52 via Foodie, Dilled, Crunchy Sweet-Corn Salad with Buttermilk Dressing, AWESOME! We had it with our perfect steak tonight, so fresh tasting, along with a baked sweet potato and fresh cantaloupe. Oh, least I forget also a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.
A nice start to cooking again.
