Grilled Steak with Caramelized Onions

I am going to give everyone another easy and amazing dinner. This dinner took a total of twenty minutes. I love quick meals. I take care of two crazy kids. A one yr. old and a four yr. old. My husband is the biggest kid of all and loves to have dinner on the table when he gets home. Needless to say, I like to have meals I can get done quick, but still is full of flavor. Not to mention, I can grill all yr. round in FL.

2lb skirt steak

Any Marinade (I used the marinade they make at my Meat Market. It rocks.)

2 Vidalia Onions

4 TB butter

1. First of all, I marinaded the steak for two days!!! It taste amazing. I am not sure if it does a difference then overnight. It just happened that way.

2. I put it on the grill for 10 minutes each side and rest for 15 minutes.

3. While the meat grilled I added the butter to a hot skillet then the onions. Cook until brown.

I served this with salad and french fries....

Beer Can Chicken

This meal is so simple. It tastes awesome. It is a cheap dinner and it is made with beer...What more could you want? LOL. Anyway, my husband and I make this almost every weekend. We love it! We like to cook together on the weekends. He mans the grill and I make the sides in the kitchen. Today I made homemade pickled beets, my salsa (below) , a huge salad and green beans. (below)......Yummy

Beer Can Chicken

2 cans of beer, does not matter what kind. (Dump half...Or drink half. LOL)

2 whole chickens (3 to 4lbs each)

2 Weber Seasoning Packets

4 TB olive oil (2 TB for each bird)

Cooking string

1. Preheat Grill. Rinse and dry chicken. Rub with the dry rub. (I used tomato pesto for one, Black Peppercorn for the other). Put the bird on the can of chicken and tie its legs around the can. Put 2 TB of olive oil on each bird.

2. Grill the bird for at least 2 hrs. (We cook ours until the legs are falling off the bone.

This chicken is amazing. We love it. I eat it with a salad and my husband loves it with rice and the green beans (recipe below).

This was my dinner with my pickled beets on top of my salad with a basic balsamic vinegar and oil:

Pickled Beets

2-3lbs of beets
2 cps water
2cps sugar
2cps white distilled vinegar
salt to taste

1. Boil beets (almost like you would potatoes) until tender. Drain beets. Add vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Boil until salt is dissolved.

2. Peel beets as the brine warms up. (HINT: It is easier to peel with a spoon...I know that sounds weird, but it pulls it right up). Slice the beets and add to brine.

Refridge!

Enjoy!!!!!

Green Beans

2lb Green Beans

1/2 Lg. Sweet Onion, cut in half then sliced

1 cp. Chicken Stock (Homemade)

1 tsp. Lawrys Salt

1 tsp. Garlic Salt

1 tsp. pepper

(This is really good if you cube ham and cook in the green beans)

1. Throw it all together in a pan and cook on medium heat for 2 hrs.

I will be posting lots of ways to use your garden veggies. This is very good. I usually make my green beans with lots of butter and I came up with this idea to cut some calories and fat. It taste just as good, if not better. Try it! It is an incredible side dish!

Fried Green Tomatoes, Ham and Egg Sandwich

I made this for my hubby this morning. I never had fried green tomatoes before. I was pleasantly surprised at how incredible they tasted. I breaded the tomatoes with 1/2 cp flour, 1.2 cp bread crumbs, Lawrys Salt, Cayenne Pepper and Pepper.(Peppers and Salt to taste. Geoff likes it spicy so I add a little more cayenne) I dipped in eggs and water and then the breading and fried it in a few TB of oil. MAN!! They are so good!!!

2 Slices Rye (Toasted)

4 Slices Muenster Cheese

A few slices of ham off the bone

2 fried Eggs with salt and pepper

2 TB minced jalapeno

2 Fried Green Tomatoes

1. I toasted the bread and as soon as it came out I topped both slices with 2 slices of muenster. I then put the two fried green tomatoes on one slice.

2. I fried the eggs with a little oil and put the ham in the same pan to brown it.

3. When the eggs where done I put in on the slice of bread with out the tomatoes and then topped it with the browned ham and jalapenos. I put the second slice of bread on top with the tomatoes.....WHOLOA!

The Local Farmers Market

Today I went to a Farmers Market in Flagler Beach and picked up all kinds of great deals. On Wednesday I went to a HUGE Farmers market in Volusia County Fairgrounds. It has hundreds of booths. It is awesome. It is about 30 minutes away, but worth every minute to get there. If you live in the Orlando area you need to visit the Volusia County Farmers Market. This is some of the deals I got:

.88cents per lb for beets

$1.00 lb for tomatoes (Romas, Green tomatoes, Beefsteak)

2lb bananas for $1

.50cents per lbs for all onions.

Homemade Marble Rye $2

Tilipia is 5$ a lb

Red bells 6 for 2$

2lb grapes for $2

Romaine Lettuce for .50 cents a head

This produce is even better then what you would find at most grocery stores.

You are probably wondering why I am telling you this. First of all, you can get more for your buck. Especially at these hard times a little always helps. (I bought 4 big bags of produce for 20 bucks) Second of all, it helps your local farmers and the economy.

You can always find a farmers market. Look at your local town or cities website. I know, every town near me has their own local farmers market. Try it out....You will be amazed at how much you save. It has great deals. Just wanted to pass that on.

Let see! Where do I begin! Tonight's dinner was wonderful! My husband who does not care for meatloaf even LOVED it. My four year old asked for seconds. Does that say anything?

I adapted my recipe from a recipe I found on http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/. This makes a lot of meatloaf. I am planning on making Meatloaf sandwiches tomorrow. I will take a few pics and keep you posted. I love leftover meatloaf.

Cajun Meatloaf

2lbs of ground round

1lbs of sausage (spicy)

4 TB butter
3 bell peppers (I used red and green)

Take Care!

Cedar Planked Salmon

Sorry...I have no pictures today. My husband took the camera to work. But trust me. It was terrific. I used my leftover cedar plank (they usually come in a package of two) and made cedar planked Salmon.
Here is the deal. I love anything smoked. I love the taste of any form of meat that has been slowly cooked over hickory or cedar. I love it! That is what cooking on a plank does. It smokes the salmon and causes a harder exterior. It is so good. If you have never cooked with a cedar plank...PLEASE PLEASE go get cedar planks. Try it. It will become a staple in your cupboard.

Cedar Planked Salmon

1.5 lbs of Salmon
2 TB of Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper
Olive oil
Honey

How simply is that?
You must let the plank soak in water at least an hr. I let it soak longer. The longer it soaks the better the result. When I was ready to grill I dried the plank and oiled the side the fish will sit on. I put the fish on the plank and rubbed the chili powder into the Salmon and I added salt and pepper. I topped the salmon with some honey. Honey causes the exterior to caramelize. The honey also adds sweetness to the spiciness of the chili.
Then I put the plank directly on the grill and grill until the Salmon flakes.


My Rice for my Husband

1 box of New Orleans Style Rice (Zatarains)
2 cps Spinach
1 can of diced tomatoes
S and P

I followed the direction of the box and then when the rice was about done (25 min). I added the spinach, diced tomatoes and salt and pepper. This is really good (and spicy) with fish.

A Salad for Mommy
For me......I used the salad I made last night. (I added beets) I put a huge helping of salad on my plate and topped with beets and the salmon. I used a balsamic vinaigrette with it. Man!!! It was so good!!! Not only was this a very healthy meal! It tasted amazing!!!

The ingredients (spinach, romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, beets and then I topped with the Salmon)

A few Seaworld Pics

Last Sunday Geoff and I took the girls to Seaworld. We watched the Clyde and Seamore show and the girls loved it. Bailey pointed at the seals the entire time and laughed. It was great!Enjoy!!!

My Weekly Tossed Salad

#2 Beef Leftover Recipe: Mexican Shredded Beef

First of all, I love to use my leftovers and try to come up with as much unique idea I can. Second, I love using shredded mexican meat because you can use it for tacos, burritos, nachos, sandwiches and even pizza. This I threw together with the leftover Roast from Friday. It turned out amazing. Geoffrey loved it!!!

I used the left over Roast about 3lbs.

2 packets of Sazon (It is Mexican seasoning found in a box. It is little packets!)

1 beer

1 can of Enchilada sauce

4 jalapenos (If you want it spicier add more jalapenos) I did not take the seeds out because Geoff loves spicy, but you can if you would like. I sliced the jalapeno into fours.

I threw this all in my pan and put it in the oven on 250. Then we went strawberry picking.(3-4 hrs) When we got back I shredded it. (It should easily shred) and I made awesome tacos. (Cheese, Guac., and Salsa. Homemade is best) It was perfect!

Strawberry Picking with the girls. We got 10lbs. You will be seeing lots of Strawberry recipes.
