Tonight: turkey and pesto croissant sandwiches with mac and cheese
Tuesday: clean out the pantry jambalaya. Note to all my Louisiana friends…ahem, Jamie… I understand this isn’t really jambalaya. I just didn’t know what to call it. It’s going to be a mixture of rice, sausage and all the leftover veggies in the fridge
Wednesday: beef quesadillas
Thursday: take out after praise and worship practice
Friday: date night
Happy eating!
For those who I told the chocolate banana bread would be up Wednesday, I apologize. I had all my photos on my camera stupid me formatted the card before getting the photos off of it. As soon as I can make more I will get it up.

Doesn’t this look like the best place ever????
Here’s this weeks meal plan.
Tonight: the juiciest burgers ever sliders, fries and salad
Tuesday: chicken and rice in a cream sauce
Wednesday: not sure yet. Probably tacos or something like that.
Thursday: dinner out somewhere
Friday: date night!
We have come to the conclusion that there is nowhere in Midland to find a decently cooked steak. We have searched high and low and nothing seems to top what we can make at home. We are constantly going to restaurants and hoping they will change my mind, but all to no avail.
So, when we saw someone make this dish on Diners, Drive In’s and Dives on the Food Network we had to recreate it the next day. This is absolutely delicious and the cream sauce tastes awesome on some mashed potatoes. It definitely filled my need for a good steak.
Steak in a Spicy Cream Sauce
2 steaks (the cut of your choice)
1 anaheim pepper, cut julienne
1 poblano pepper, cut julienne
1 jalapeño pepper, whole
1 shallot, minced
2 tbs canola oil
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoon flour
1/3 cup chicken broth
Pull your steaks out of the refrigerator an hour and a half before you are ready to cook them and let them get to room temperature. This allows for more even cooking. 30 minutes before you are ready to cook salt the steaks liberally and set aside.
While those are soaking up the salt you can cut all your peppers and onions.
Put oil in a large skillet and heat to medium-high. Throw the whole jalapeño into the oil and leave it there while you cook your steaks. Cook the steaks to your desired doneness and remove from pan.
Put the anaheim, poblano and shallots into the pan and cook until soft. After they are soft add the flour in with the veggies. Stir to combine. Pour the chicken broth in to deglaze, then add 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir until it creates a thick sauce.
Salt and pepper to taste. If you’d like some more heat add some cayenne.
Put the steaks on the plate and pour the cream sauce with all the peppers and onions on top of the steak.

Is anyone else ready for Spring? I’m ready for little dresses, farmers markets and picnics! Every time I pull out one of my sundresses the weather turns ugly. Ugh, come on Springtime!
Here’s this weeks meal plan full of a bunch of old faithful recipes.
Tonight: roasted chicken (roasted like we do our turkey), salty potatoes and salad.
Tuesday: 5 spice stir fry with squash, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and noodles
Wednesday: chicken pot pie/shepherds pie. I’m going to throw all the leftovers from Monday night into a casserole dish and bake it. We’ll see how it turns out.
Thursday: pork chops with shells and cheese. We’ve been trying to make this meal for weeks and something come up every time we plan for it.
Friday: date night
Happy eating!
