I blogged recently about some super tasty Italian Shredded Beef Sandwiches. We love them but a 4 lb roast makes a lot of shredded beef for two people! After a few sandwiches, I’m ready for something else! I’ve been experimenting with the leftover beef and this one has quickly become a favorite. I’ve made it [...]

Sometimes you just really crave childhood favorites. I feel like I’ve been craving childhood favorites a lot late. Perhaps I’ve been a bit nostalgic lately as I approach yet another birthday? I’ll officially be closer to 30 than 20 this year… 2-6. Its hard to believe. Remember those days as a child where being in [...]

Its cold outside! 33 degrees which is chilly by Texas standards. I’m wearing a scarf and boots & coat today I love it though. I love January & February. They’re my favorite months I think because its the only “winter” we get in Texas. Actually this year has been pretty cool, but typically we don’t [...]

Since starting weight watchers, we’ve eliminated a lot of carbs from our diet. I don’t think I really realized just quite how many carbs we were consuming. Oh I’ve always known I was a carb lover and don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is anything “wrong” with carbs but like most things in [...]

I love burgers. I still feel like I’m still making up for the 4-5 years when I didn’t eat them in high school/early college. I get a weekly craving for them. Unfortunately, eating them weekly is not very good for the waistline. However, I have to give into the craving every so often and one [...]

Skewered Steak with Vegetables

20 June 2007

This was my first attempt making kebobs. I wasn’t quite sure what blend of spices to use. When we grill steaks we normally just season with salt & pepper and brush with melted butter. Its the way hubby loves steak so I don’t normally use many spices on steak. I do have to say my [...]
