Happy Monday!
Did y'all try the Lemon Basil Pesto Flat Iron Steak?! Holy Cow!! Delicioso! I used New York Strip b/c I have no idea what a flat iron steak is & they were awesome. Seriously, seriously a taste sensation. In fact, we had leftover steak, which is being used in Monday's dinner this week. I'm using my noggin for sure.
We have a busy busy week with two early baseball games. This week's menu is as easy as it gets!
Monday - Steak Quesadillas - just in case you don't know how to make a quesadilla (I call it my Mexican grilled cheese) ... thinly slice the steak, butter one side of a tortilla, place (buttered side down) in a warm skillet, sprinkly with cheese, lay steak on cheese, sprinkle with more cheese, top with another buttered tortilla (buttered side facing up), heat till cheese is melted, flip, lightly brown other side and you're done!
Tuesday - Beans & Jalapeno Cheddar Bread -- Don't tell me you threw that ham bone away from Easter dinner!! If you kept it, soak a bag of beans overnight, throw them in the crockpot the next day with your ham bone, add your favorite seasonings, some onion, maybe a pepper, water to cover beans, and cook all day long. About an hour before dinner, add some of that yummy leftover ham, heat through and serve with cornbread or whatever bread you choose. We are benefitting from one of Cooper's work colleagues who bought a loaf of Cheddar bread and then heard the unfortunate results of his Cholesterol test. His wife forbid him from eating anymore cheese bread --- sad for him, lucky us! This meal makes me love being a Southern Girl. My Dad always made the best beans. It's comfort food all around!
Wednesday - Out to Dinner (gotta love Enchilada Night at El Chico)
Thursday - Quiche -- more left over ham? Throw it in a Quiche!!
Friday - Loaded Baked Potatoes
Saturday - Shorty's Diner

Glenda- what is Shorty's Diner? I noticed you've had it on quite a few of your posts. Did I miss something? I've been reading pretty faithfully!
ReplyDeleteHey, do you open the crust before you put it in the oven for the Quiche recipe? Then when you put the stuff in the crust, do you put that in a pie plate? I've never had quiche. Also, What is Shorty's Diner? Is it inexpensive? My blog is www.critchfields.blogspot.com

Great tips btw!
I have to apologize you guys - I just now saw your comments!!
ReplyDeleteMarisa - Shorty's Diner is leftover night. I completely stole the idea from one of my CTR 7s a couple years ago. It went something like this:
Cutie Patootie: (with slight lisp) "Tonight is my favorite dinna night! It's Showty's Dina"
Me: "Shorty's Diner? What's that?"
Cutie Patootie: "My Momma takes everythin from the freeza and acts like a waitwess. We eat whateva we want."
PRECIOUS! LOVE IT!!
And Shannon ... yes, sweetie, open the pie crust wrapper, unroll it, place it in a pie plate, cover with foil, and bake (following the direction on the box) for about 8 min. Take the pie crust out of the oven, remove foil, pour in Quiche mixture, and bake for about an hour.
If you want to practice some new things in the kitchen, give me a call & I'll help you out a bit!
Happy Cooking!
Thanks! I just saw this. WAY cute idea--I'm stealing it!
