Steak. It's What's For Dinner

Skirt steak that has been marinating for the past 36 hours. And yes, it is my special blend marinade.

Paella

I feel horrible that I've missed so many 365 pics lately.  And the first one that I do after decades (at least in blogging years) is yet another food pic.  Be that as it may...

Tonight I made Paella for the family.  If you're not familiar with it, it's a dish with everything in one pot/pan with a Spanish origin.  There are also many, MANY variations of it.  Mine contains chicken, sausage, shrimp, rice, tomato, and green peas.  Of course you have to season it with cinnamon and a touch of saffron, along with a few "secret" ingredients.

Meatloaf

Ready for the oven...

I know that I've talked about meatloaf sandwiches before, but I didn't show the actual meatloaf.  At least not before it goes into the oven.  My family loves it and my grandmother would be proud.

Sunday dinner

Cashew Chicken in Red Sauce

When I lived in California, there was a Chinese restaurant that served an incredible cashew chicken in a red sauce. I have never been able to find another establishment that made it just that way, so a few weeks ago I did an internet search and found this recipe.

I am happy to say that it was very close to what I remember. And the family loved it. Bon Appetite!

Greasy goodness

Fresh homemade onion rings

Ok, so I haven't posted a picture of actual FOOD in a few weeks.  Made these tonight just because it sounded so good.  We also made corndogs...if you were wondering...

I fully expect our arteries to clog completely overnight.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit...

...well, they're what I cooked today to make chili with tomorrow.

Also just realized that a vast majority of my posts have been food related.  Should that be some subliminal sign to me?

Dinner from the hip

I've been on a roll lately, namely with cooking.  I like the challenge of looking in the fridge and cupboards, seeing what we have to work with, and then coming up with a tasty dish for the family.  Tonight is no exception:  Steak strips, bell pepper, onion, mushroom, tomato, and some spices make for a great and easy meal when served over a bed of white rice.
