Girls Night In—-STEAK!!!!!

Perfect Ribeye with Green Beans. I added the green beans with 2 tablespoons of butter, then added the heavily salted and peppered steak.  5 minutes on each side on the stove top (constantly moving around the green beans) and then in the oven on 375 for just under 5 minutes. Behold the glory…

Veggie Cauliflower Rice

Hello again! So I found a head of cauliflower that I totally forgot about in the vegetable drawer. I decided to try something crazy and make it in to rice. I have seen lots of these recipes floating around. Many call for a bag of riced cauliflower. Well, that seems a bit strange to buy when you already have a head of cauliflower! It had a few brown spots on it, which is still totally safe to eat, so I just cut it up in to chucks and put it in the food processor. 055

Then I added a few more veggies…056

I added these veggies to a bit of olive oil with a generous portion of salt and pepper. Then I cooked them down a bit for about 6 minutes. 057

Then I added the cauliflower and snap peas and cooked for about 10 more minutes all together. I added a bit of teriyaki, but I also think if I had it, I would have added some sesame oil.

Such an easy and healthy dish!

Farmers Market Finds! First one of the season, so I am pretty excited.      

Beet, radish, and rainbow chard saute. Yum! Fresh and healthy.  Fresh Greens! Love all the leafy tops. I like to make them in to a salad or mix in to an omelette.   Sweet Katie kept writing me mother’s day messages and made me take pictures. ❤
