steak


Tonight i made a veggie applesauce from scratch with steak n potatoes. the steak was by far the best ive ever made it. i've included a basic recipe at the bottom.

  • makes enough fo 2
  • 1.5 bags gardien steak tips
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon rosemary
  • 2 tbs chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon tumeric
  • make marinade first then add tips. marinade as long as you like
  • pan fry as is until browned

pizza pizza

thats right.. that aint no croissant or danish. we've been more cost effective lately by making our own pizza. buying dough for 1.89 is way cheaper than getting a cheesless pizza then sprinkling the good stuff on and baking it again. also trust in me sesame seeds sprnkled on the dough makes a world of difference.

recipies

thought i would touch on this again. literally i do plan on writing out recipies eventually for most of the stuff. but most of the time i cook to taste so there is a constant switch up to my cooking game. time will tell. i mean this blog was going to be a life blog but has turned into cooking haha
havent had many photo worthy pics lately but thats life. here we have an sweet stirfry flavored with organic brown sugar and basil (with a ton of other stuff). also a panko crusted italian eggplant bake. with couscous. eventually ill get off my butt and start writing down recipies but i havent had time as of late. its hard enough for either of us to find an hour to breathe let alone cook with the little guy haha.
