So delicious & easy, I'll even show you how...

As the days are getting colder, darker and shorter, I find myself feeling exhausted by 4pm. And here is what usually happens to me in the kitchen this time of year... I find one really easy, perfect winter dish that pleases everyone (including myself) and I tend to cook it, and cook it again. I will cook it so many times, and totally overkill it that eventually I won't be able to cook it ever again....but for now, I am enjoying it, and so is everyone else! Also, on a cold evening, there's nothing like meat and potatoes... Preparation time: 5 minutes.

Winter Minute Steak & Potatoes
serves 4-6
8 minute steaks (you can also use "flanken")
4 potatoes, cut into wedges (any kind)
2 cups prepared marinara sauce (store bought)
1 1/2 tablespoons onion soup mix (sometimes you just gotta bend the rules)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven 350. Combine all ingredients in a pyrex dish, and cover with foil. Bake for 2 hours. Enjoy- the meat comes out like butter!

{Chalkboard Sticker Frame}

Image
A few weeks ago I won a CSN giftcard giveaway from {DavesWife} at The Diary Of Daves Wife  (thanks Kristy!) and while scouring the website trying to decide which goodies I wanted to buy, I came across this oval chalkboard sticker  frame: Ooh yeah!   I had to have it and it was only $14.00! I didn't read (or remember reading) the dimensions of the sticker, so when it came in a large box, I was pleasantly surprised !  Turns out it is approx 28in x 23in. You wipe the wall spot clean, peel the sticker paper off the back and stick it. I only wanted the actual oval frame part to go on the wall, not the surrounding square corners (because duh, that would look lame) so I cut it out: Which means I then have..... Sweet! I've mentioned before how small our condo is, so I didn't have very many options of open wall space to put this sticker. I decided the best place would be right inside the garage door entrance (the only entrance we use) so the Mister and I...

A Salad with Texture

Crunchy, chewy, crispy, juicy, squashy, runny, solid, hard, soft, soggy, firm, creamy, grainy. These words have something in common: texture. In my kitchen, I like to focus on how the food I make �feels.� In The Modern Menu, I tackle the importance of texture in cooking. It turns out the human mouth is incredibly sensitive � you all know the feeling of freezer burned ice-cream, for instance. Not good. When it comes to texture, I particularly love bright, layered salads where all the components come together in one cohesive bite after another. There�s a recipe I�d like to share, though I recommend some slight modifications due to some ingredients being out of season. Instead of peaches, I recommend using green apples or another type of seasonal fruit you like. Happy cooking - and remember, it doesn�t have to be perfect! Spinach, Haricots Vert, and Avocado Salad with Crunchy Honey Dressing Crunchy, salty, sweet, and sharp � this salad has it all! The dressing contributes texture...
