These steaks turn out so juicy and tender and tasty!  Love it! Start with a good cut of meat, whatever you like (we chose rib eyes).  About an hour before you want to cook them, cover them in coarse seal salt (note that it doesn’t work with regular table salt because it’s ground too fine). … Continue reading #52 – Restaurant Style Rib Eye with a Dinner Salad 

This is the recipe from Pioneer Woman, as always… This one is pretty good, but not as good as Lanta Thai Fusion (the Thai food place we like to get curry at). Start by rinsing your rice and putting it in the rice cooker.  I didn’t start mine till I had everything else ready though. … Continue reading #51 – Chicken Curry

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Salt and pepper your chicken on both sides.  Heat … Continue reading #49 – Buffalo Chicken Salad

This original recipe is from Ree’s Dinnertime book, but I tweaked it a bit.  For the thin fries (also from the book), you will need to either have a few hours to prep like on a weekend or prepare them the night before (like I did).   To prepare the fries, clean and peel a … Continue reading #47 – Pawhuska Cheesesteaks with Thin Fries

This is one you need to set the alarm for if you want to do it on a work day… I did mine in the crock pot, but last time i followed Pioneer Woman Dinnertime recipe because it was a weekend.  Works well both ways.   Start by salting and peppering your 4-5 lb roast … Continue reading #46 – Red Wine Pot Roast with Carrots, Potatoes, and Parsnips
