So Matt has inventory at work, which means that I may not see him until I wake up tomorrow. :( I totally hate when he has inventory, but I'm grateful he has such a great job, so I can't really complain. Plus who doesn't love overtime, right? lol.
I tidied my house up a little, then hit the books for a while. After I finally gave in to the fact that I was hungry, I decided to pull out my cook book created by the wonderful people at Pioneer Comprehensive Medical in Draper, Ut, specifically Dr. Hugo Rodier, who created this miraculous cleanse that I am doing. The first page of recipes is all about steak. SWEET! That was totally what I was in the mood for!
After 14 hours in line at Wal-Mart, I am finally eating this delicious plate of yummy-ness, and I just HAD to share the recipe. It is soooo good. Happy eating!
Steak and Carmelized Onions
10 oz strip steak, visible fat removed
Olive oil spray
1 Cup sliced red onion
1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
4 Medium sized garlic cloves
1/2 Portobello mushroom, sliced (3 cups)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Line baking tray with foil and place under the broiler. Spray steak with oil on both sides and set aside. Heat a little oil in a small non-stick skillet on medium high and add the onions. Saute 1 minute. Add chicken broth, cover with lid and cook on high for 3 minutes. Uncover and cook another minute, or until all the liquid has evaporated. Add garlic and mushrooms, saute for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the hot baking tray from broiler and place steak on tray. Broil 4 minutes for 1 inch steak, 2 minutes for a thinner one. Turn steak, salt and pepper cooked side. Broil 4 minutes for thicker steak, 2 minutes for thinner steak. Transfer to plates. Smother with onions and mushrooms. Serve. Yum!
I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but it was still so good! I used sirloin steak, chopped garlic from a jar, regular mushrooms, frozen onions, and cooked it on my Foreman. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

The Joy of Food
Anyone who has started a diet, a cleanse, a..well ANYTHING in an effort to lose weight quickly figures out 2 things: It's hard, and the food is BORING! As I have been working to achieve my goals, I have run into this same problem. I made my yummy chicken salad, and made sure to add spices to give it a little something extra. I made a really great soup, and again, added spices to keep it interesting, but this woman cannot live on chicken salad and soup alone. GIVE ME VARIETY! Even the deviled eggs aren't evil enough.
A few days ago I was STARVING. I had meat cooking in the pan, as well as asparagus sauteeing. In my grocery store adventure earlier that day, I bought several veggies, including mushrooms. I decided to add that to the asparagus and what happened next was bliss. I couldn't wait for my meat to finish cooking, so I started snacking on my little "side dish", but ended up eating it all before the meat was done. It was SOOO good! Am I the only one who has never tried this?
I have come up with a few concoctions that are oh-so-tasty, and extremely healthy. The best part? They aren't the same boring stuff you always eat! WOO HOO! If you have any ideas, email me and I will post them on my blog. Here's what the latest creations are: (don't expect anything grand. I'm easy.)
Almost Quiche:
2 Eggs
Some broccoli, chopped into small pieces (maybe 1/8 cup?)
1 heaping tablespoon chopped onions
1 tsp Real Bacon Bits. (You know the kind you buy at Costco?)
Saute the broccoli in EVOO for a few minutes, then add the onions and bacon. After a few minutes, add the eggs. BAM! Yummy, healthy, quick food.
Mushroom and Asparagus:
A few mushrooms.
A few more stalks of asparagus
(I know, it's really complicated)
I chop the asparagus into pieces about 1.5-2 inches long. Saute in EVOO until it is bright green. Then add chopped mushrooms, saute until the asparagus is soft.
This tastes especially good when you put it on a grilled chicken breast, or just chop the chicken and add it in the mixture!
Tonight I am making Spaghetti Squash with ground Chicken Meatballs. I add Marinara sauce, sauteed mushrooms, and anything else that sounds *potentially* good. This is also yummy if you shred Zucchini to add to the spaghetti squash, but I don't have any, and I don't feel like going to the store for the 3rd time today...except that I need mushrooms...hmmm.
Here's to fitting in more of my clothes!
