Night Off

I took the night off from cooking. Yes, I actually had leftovers from last nights Orange Beef! It's even better the second day!! 

 Tonight, I thought I'd tell you about an amazing product that I 💖💖💖. It's HEB Sunflower Oil with Garlic and Herbs. You will find it in the baking aisle, by the flavored oils, of your local HEB. It's great for marinades, for dipping bread and for sautéing. A friend at work told me about it about it last year and I now stock pile it in my pantry!!!  Last week I used it to marinade my ribeye's before I grilled them. I seasoned the steak with some garlic powder, onion powder and pepper (sometimes I use Adam's Reserve Spicy House All Purpose Rub), poured the sunflower oil in a gallon Ziploc bag, put the steaks in the bag, sealed it and placed the bag in the fridge. After about an hour or so, I took steaks out and grilled them until medium rare on the grill. The taste in unbelievable!!! Next time you bake a potato, try rubbing the oil on your potato before you wrap it in foil to bake. The flavor of the oil just seems to melt into the potato as it bakes...

Argentinian Red Shrimp in a White Wine Garlic Sauce

Happy Monday!! I can't believe tomorrow will be three weeks since I started this blog! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!!! Hope you and your family are enjoying the recipes as much as we do. I've gotten several recipes from friends that I can't wait to try and blog about. If you have a favorite recipe and pictures you'd love to share, please email or text me! 😊 My family loves shrimp so today's recipe will not disappoint. Normally I don't use wine when I cook but there are a few exceptions, red wine spaghetti and shrimp in a white wine garlic sauce.  There is no need to go and buy an expensive wine to cook with. The best rule of thumb is, if you drink it you can cook with it! The alcohol in the wine will cook out and you will only be left with the flavor. I chose an orange moscato, made in Fredericksburg, because the orange flavor goes great with the garlic, butter and shrimp. You can serve this dish with either pasta, or my favorite, creamy pole

Happy Monday Everyone!!! I hope everyone is having a great day and staying cool. 😊 I'm in Texas and the heat here is crazy....if we have a day under 100 degrees it's a miracle!! Since it has been so crazy hot I decided this week is going to be soup week!!! What.....100 degrees and soup! I know it sounds a little crazy but there is something relaxing about a great bowl of homemade soup. This week I'm going to focus on healthier low carb soup recipes. Today's recipe is so quick, easy and delicious you'll want to make it a staple. Being in Texas, I love the heat and the spice so in my recipe I use hot Italian bulk sausage and add some spicy red pepper flakes to kick it up a few notches!!! The best thing about this recipe is you can make it as mild or as spicy as you like! If you don't like Italian sausage, no problem....try it with ground chicken or turkey. Give it a go and let me know your thoughts. If you have a favorite soup recipe, please feel free to share!
