What’s For Dinner?

It probably seems that all we eat around here is cake, cookies, pie and more pie. While we do love cake, cookies and pie (who doesn’t!?) we actually eat a lot of salad and grilled chicken and grilled vegetables. Dave is a whiz at grilled chicken. He got that ability directly from his dad.

Recently, I decided that we needed to branch out and try cooking beef. The only beef we know how to cook is hamburger. This week I went to the grocery store and, lo and behold, rib-eye steaks were on sale. I felt better about experimenting on $20 worth of steak rather than $40 (it was a big package of steaks).

Dave found some steak rub in our pantry and fired up the grill.

I want to tag this post to the recipe section so here’s the recipe: rib-eye, steak rub, grill. :)

OH. MY. WORD. Delicious. What in the world took us so long????

After I took this picture, I thought to myself that it looked kind of GROSS but I promise that it was wonderful!

What’s for dinner at your house?

    I’ve always enjoyed cooking healthy meals for my family. When Lana was almost three years old the local newspaper did an article on all my healthy and homemade food. We did homemade baby food, bread, mayonnaise, granola, popsicles, etc.,etc. Well, things have changed…..With long work hours into the late night (I usually get off work between eight and ten) dinner usually consists of whatever is left over of the patient’s food provided by a local hospital. If there’s nothing left it’s a slimfast shake or some fruit.
    Part of the joy of visiting Lana is that we get back into good cooking.
    Lana, the steak looks great!
    When Lauren was younger she was telling me over the phone what she was eating. I commented that I wish I had some because it sounded so delicious. I heard Lana exclaim, “Lauren, stop!” Lauren was trying to push the food into the holes in the phone so I could have a taste.

    That looks good Lana. My son can cook on the grill, I’m still learning but I try every now and again. It’s always extra crispy HAHA!!
