Flank Steak done a new way - Bulgogi style

OK, so I have tried flank steak done a number of ways now, all delicious, but this one was another new one tonight and was met with rave reviews.  A friend told me about this and I decided to give it a try.  Very different, but delicious.  Super easy.  Served rice and meat in a cool lettuce wrap.  Very refreshing with a kick from the red pepper flakes.  Played all day and whipped dinner together in an hour for friends.  A few bad pictures, but I am including the recipe link.  It was much better than it looks!  Bon appetit!!!!!!

Sunday with the ladies.....

Nice lazy Sunday with the ladies for a fabulous brunch at Local Roots, a local farm to table restaurant.  Best Bloody Mary I've had in ages!  Opted for the local beef burger with a fried egg on top....(becoming one of my favorite ways to eat a burger!).  Cooked just right...nice and messy.  Followed by a trip to our local small theater to view the movie Holmes in an intimate screening room...perfect for the movie and us girls.  Great way to start my week.  Home to cook for friends tonight.  At this rate I'm going to have to kick up the running!!!!!!  All I do is eat and drink these days! Cheers!!!!!!

Saturday night in....

It has been a crazy, busy week...so much so, in fact, that I just wanted to be in my own kitchen cooking tonight.   Nothing else would pacify me.  Super simple dinner, great tastes that all go great together, just me and my hubby...couldn't have been better...crashing early for another busy day tomorrow.  Crab cakes with forbidden rice, lima beans and lemon crunch ice cream from my favorite local dairy, Homestead, sprinkled with crushed ginger snaps.  God, thank you for the many blessings!!!!

Coach and Four

Julian, you outdid yourself!  Grouper with lemons and capers, served over wilted spinach and topped with roasted tomatoes.  Yum!   Thanks for taking such good care of us!  

Ladies Night Out and Andrew

I love a short holiday week, but still cannot wrap my head around that it is already Wednesday night!  Wasn't it just "Monday"????!!!!  Love these girls, Madeline and CJ!  Both birthday girls!  Happy birthday, ladies.  Thanks to our favorite bartender at River and Rail, Andrew.  You always pick the best wines for us!  I will definitely be putting this one on my list!  One of my favorite things about ladies night out....leftovers!!!  No big fancy meal to share tonight.  Hugs, Heidi

Post holiday dinner

OK, busy day at the office, but that doesn't deter me.  Home at 7:30, dinner at 11:00.  Grilled steaks with mushrooms, smashed cauliflower, tomato tart....this is beginning to sound monotonous.  Do not fear...this may be the last tomato tart of the season as the vines are just about dead.  Plan to enjoy as long as possible.  Thanks be to God for the bounty.

Holiday weekend

Putting the cooking class to the test.  Pad Thai.  Spicy, but so yummy.  I love the different ethnic comfort foods. Friday night trip to my favorite microbrew, Chaos.  We all have our creature comforts!
