Everyday Menus: Steak House Steak

Thursday July 29, 2010
Sometimes you just need a steak. After a tough day or week, there's nothing more soothing (if you're a carnivore!) than a tender, juicy, perfectly cooked steak with a caramelized crust. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! If you can, splurge and buy grass-fed organic beef. Nothing tastes richer or beefier than an organic steak. Serve with some excellent oven fries, a classic spinach salad, and a chocolate pie for dessert. Now there's a meal to perk up your spirits!

Start With - Canned Salmon

Monday July 26, 2010
Canned salmon is an excellent and nutritious ingredient to have on hand. You can use it to make so many things, from Salmon Patties or this luscious Salmon Coleslaw. I like to buy the red sockeye salmon because I think it has a richer flavor, but pink salmon is just fine. Enjoy these easy and cool recipes this week.
