Marriage is all about compromise, isn’t it? I asked my husband if he wanted pizza for dinner. That was a mistake. I had pictured a heavenly grilled veggie pizza, and began taking ingredients out of the frig. Mike’s response wasn’t what I had in mind. “I’d like beef on my pizza. please.” Drick's Mexican Seasoning Hmmmmm. Unfortunately for [...] There’s a new butcher in town! This butcher has cases full of local chicken, beef and pork. The problem is that his offerings are so expensive, he doesn’t price them in the case. When I asked what the price per pound for a flank steak was I received a five minute lecture about the benefits of [...] It’s summer and with the abundance of fresh tomatoes and basil it would be a crime not to make a caprese salad of some variation. According to Food Geeks a caprese salad is defined as ” . . . an Italian specialty that is a simple dish designed to feature its three primary ingredients: Tomatoes, [...] There is no better way to spend a Saturday night then with the grill, a good steak and a glass of red. Now that we’ve hit the tail end of the move from H – E – double toothpicks (a term from childhood), and are finally settled into our new home, we can relax and enjoy.

In Seattle, it brought pictures of big droplets of rain creating gigantic puddles on the roads – along with barbecues and visits to veterans memorials. The rain didn’t stop me from getting outside to weed the [...] It’s the weekend! Burgers are on the menu, and we decided to start the season with a diversion from the usual grilled burger. We added a Mediterranean twist. We topped our burgers with sauteed mushrooms, oregano and red wine, then added a creamy low fat feta. Lean ground beef doesn’t have to be dry if you don’t over-cook [...] I can’t pass up a good sale at the grocery store. It’s not that I buy things I don’t need, the problem is that I buy in such large quantities that two people can’t possibly eat it all. That’s exactly what I’ve done with the beef in this dish. It was pre-sliced lean beef that would have [...] When you buy a steak, it’s usually twice the size the normal serving size. Who could eat all that?
