It's Grill Time!!!!! Beef Tenderloin Kabobs 6/16/13

Easy meal for those who love to grill!  After all the pizza I have made the last few days I was thinking a nice filet would hit the spot.  Filet's were on sale and I managed to get a really nice piece at at reasonable price. Yay!

  My hubby is watching so he doesn't eat a lot of red meat (heart surgery last year) so I rarely make steak.

We often talk about our food favorites and he always loved a nice steak. I wouldn't want him to deprive himself of something he has always enjoyed.  I think it's moderation and we do try to cut back on red meat.

  I don't know about you but there are some days I am not in the mood for chicken. I need change! This was a welcomed meal..Enjoy!

Below is the recipe I used:

1 lb. beef tenderloin cubed
I small red onion cubed
Sliced zucchini
Salt
Pepper
Grilling medium until center of beef is pink

Serve with rice and fruit


Happy Grilling!!

Happy Father's Day! The Menu and Meal (Pictures Included) 6/19/11

To celebrate the day I decided to make one of my husband's favorites.  STEAK! Other than Italian food  he loves a good steak. As an added surprise LOBSTER TAIL..Usually a NY strip steak but today it'll be Filet's (didn't find any nice strips). OK.. so here we go:

Filet from the Market and Lobster Tail(I boiled and then brushed with butter and a dash of paprika and broiled them until butter was bubbly).
Red leaf lettuce with strawberries and toasted pecans(lite orange dressing)
Baked Idaho Potato/butter
No rolls today(watching our waistline)

For Dessert: Fresh baked biscuits with homegrown strawberries(just did on a whim)(Did I mention this is his  FAVORITE DESSERT)!!!!!!!!!!!

I may add to this that I like a good filet on occasion and I do so love LOBSTER so I 'm happy about this menu as well! 

 Happy Baking and Cooking!

Note:  Just finished our dinner and it was of great quality and taste and my hubby said I get an A+...not really but he said it was perfect and thanked me so I guess I did good.

Father's Day with our son and his family! 2012

Each year we do a little something for Dad on Father's Day.  Since it falls in June the easiest is a meal on the grill.  Super Easy!

 This post was blogged for Father's Day 2012 and I thought you may like to see how basic and yet so beautiful the day was spent.

Re-post:
It was a very good day to relax and have an easy meal on the grill.  No fuss kind of day!  Just a day to share love, laughter and some tender moments spent with the family. A good day!  I think my  hubby would definitely agree.  Missing in action were our daughter and her family (Vacationing).  She did call and the boys were able to wish their Poppy a Happy Father's day. 

Happy Grilling!
