I really hadn’t intended to blog about this dish, but it was so darn tasty I just have to share. First off, the original recipe suggests you pan fry the steaks and finish them off in the oven. But it’s summer and I’m a grilling fool. Second, the recipe has you marinate the steak for [...]

Sesame Soy New York Steaks
This steak was so tender, juicy and flavorful. My family almost gobbled it up before I could take a photo. You should all be really happy that I didn’t use flank steak. But if you feel compelled to use this marinade on a flank steak, or any one of your favorite cut of beef, that [...]
Sirloin Shish-kabobs with Pineapple and Veggies
These shish kabobs are so amazingly flavorful. The tender beef, sweet pineapple and crunchy vegetables flow in perfect harmony. This seems to happen every year. We go from cold and dreary to 100 degree heat within a few weeks (I might be embellishing a little, here). Well, bring it on Mother Nature. I am [...]
Pan Seared Filet Mignon with Port Wine Pan Sauce
The picture does not do this delicious dish justice. Look at all those different flavors. Crunchy garlic bread, tender filet mignon and crispy onion straws all topped with an amazing port wine pan sauce. WOW this was good. I make this every Christmas Eve. I make this when I want to butter up my husband. [...]
Grilled Marinated Flank Steak
This flank steak was so juicy and flavorful. I marinated the steak for the full 24 hours and my family loved it! Serve with fresh fruits and vegetables for a healthy mid-week meal. I promise I won’t post another flank steak…..that is unless I come across something fabulous. I would highly suggest to use a [...]
Spaghetti Sauce with Italian Meatballs
This is an excellent mother sauce (and it just happens to be my husband’s mother’s recipe, go figure). A mother sauce is one sauce that you can use in multiple recipes, such as baked ziti, chicken parmigan, meatball sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, baked shells and manicotti (have I forgotten any here?) That’s why it is worth [...]
Beef Wellington Bites
I just got back from one amazing weekend with my girlfriends. Every year we rent a house in Sonoma, we do a lot of catching up, a lot of eating and a lot of wine tasting. I made these delicious Beef Wellington Bites the second evening we were there. They were the biggest hit of [...]
Standing Rib Roast…and a new pair of shoes!
I am going to make a confession…..I spent half of my grocery money this week on a new pair of shoes. I am okay with it, just worried about what the other family members might think. It must be my mission that they will never know. So what’s a girl to do? You rummage through [...]
Chile, Lime & Garlic Flank Steak
Once I figured out how to make a good flank steak….I became obsessed with the cut of steak. Plus, you can get a two pack at Costco for a really good price. Guess what we’ve been eating all week! This is a wet rub. In a small bowl add all the ingredients together, rub both [...]
Beef Burgundy Stew
Before the warm weather sets in, please make this delightful dish. I think this is comfort food at its best! What’s not to love about tender beef surrounded by baby carrots, a delicious beef and red wine sauce, onions and earthy mushrooms. All placed on top of egg noodles. One dish dining at its best!
