I adore this fresh, bright, earthy salad! It is very light but yet adequately filling as a meal itself. I often eat it for lunch with the addition of some good tuna, a warm piece of pita if I have it & a sparkling water! At dinner I would make kebabs & rice or maybe…

O.M.G. Beef Short Ribs with Root Mash ‘n Gravy
NOT even playing with the “OMG” part of this recipe. I mean once & a while friends we have to eat something that makes us feel indulgent & even a bit guilty BUT OH SO SATISFYING that we don’t care! That said, this IS that good … but it’s not that bad! Capisce?? (Said…

Soy-Lime Grilled Flank Steak
I LOVE grilled steak. Generally speaking we will pick a rib eye (bone-in if they have it) for traditional steak dinner. That said, I choose flank (or skirt) just as often because it is so diverse & flavorful! This one recipe marinates only about 1-4 hours. You could marinate it over night, but I would…
