No Dinner Menu This Week...

Because I have a bit much going on this week, I am not going to post a dinner menu. After tonight, I am not cooking for the rest of the week, but....here is what I made last night...
Chilli-Rubbed Steak Tacos with Avacado and Cucumber Salsa
and tonight I am making...
Skillet Lasagna with some french bread.

It is easy to see that the Chillie Rubbed Steak Tacos have become me go to recipe every week. They are a HUGE hit in my house and I do the meat in the crockpot, so it can be any tough piece of beef, cause at the end, it is nice and tender.

Also, this past Sunday I made the ever so rich Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle for my Brother-in-Law for his birthday. This go around I made it full blown peanut butter as the recipes calls. He says it is great, I did not have the sweet tooth to dare try it. I also made a chocolate eclair cake for my family. It is trusted favorite, can't go wrong kind of thing. It is so yummy....

Weekend Recipes

So over the weekend we tried some good, yummy recipes. Definately some keepers. Saturday night Tad cooked up some salmon fillets with some really good lemon, dill rice. We also had some crab fritters. We have become Allton Brown Goo-roos, so of course the crab fritters come from him. Oh...we used imitation crab :)

I also found a new recipe I was dying to try Chili Rubbed Steak Tacos with Cucumber & Alvacodo Salsa....YUMMO!!! Thats all I can say. I wanted it to be ready when we got home from church yesterday so, instead of grilling the steak I tripled the rub recipe and through the meat in the crock pot with about 1/2 cup of water and then...when we got home it was ready and smelled so good. We shredded the beef and then added it back to the juices in the crock pot so it could soak them all up. It was GREAT and I will definately be making them again...soon rather than later. The salsa is soooooo refreshing!! Oh yes....I used more like 2 pounds of meat.
