I did a lot of cooking over the holidays. I also ended up with a lot of leftovers. The day after the kids went back to school I did a refrigerator clean out and inventory. I think we could have fed a small country. There was so much stuff in there Jim and I ate [...]
Beef Fajitas
February 16, 2011 By 12 Comments
I have been on a quest. To discover a great beef fajita recipe. I have done lots of experimenting the last month or so and I think my family is a little tired of fajitas. I have experimented with different cuts of meat – several types of steak including skirt steak and flank steak. The [...]
Marinaded London Broil
June 16, 2010 By 11 Comments
Since I am in London this week I thought a recipe for London broil would be very appropriate! It’s June and that means it must be summer right? Before I left for London it seemed like Portland couldn’t quite make up its mind – rain, sun, rain, sun! Regardless of the weather we have fired [...]
Ginger Steak Salad

I made this recipe several months ago and we loved it. I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to share it with you. I made this during my short lived low glycemic phase. I have made lots of salads topped with chicken and even pork but I haven’t used red meat before but [...]

Crockpot Brisket
March 20, 2009 By 8 Comments
Over the last ten years or so I have spent a lot of time in the costume shop at the high school. One of my favorite things about it is the opportunity it gives me to meet some of the other moms of my children’s friends. It never fails, when moms get together, the conversation always [...]
Manly Meal – Steak Bites
February 20, 2009 By 19 Comments
I have a confession to make! I skipped Sunday School last week! Shh – no one tell my mother or my husband – o.k.? I really didn’t skip on purpose, well I guess I kind of did. I came home to get something really quick and before I knew it I was on my computer surfing [...]
Shredded Beef Tacos

I often get requests for recipes that are good to serve to a crowd (maybe it’s all that cooking I’ve done for various church functions). Two of my favorite recipes to recommend are ones I have featured here on the blog – Cafe Rio Pork and Costa Vida Chicken. They both make a lot and they [...]
