Trying to catch up on our Thanksgiving week! It was pretty hectic because we were leaving for Disney the day after. But, we still made time for some crafts! Addi LOVES painting and while the vision for this tree didn't turn out how exactly how I saw on Pinterest, it is still beautiful and definitley a little more free spirited. :) What matter is, she had an absolute blast just going for it. </div>

Tuesday night, we had a Thanksgiving meal with our friends. This is by far the best meal of the year. We had: turkey, ham, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, green bean bundles, corn casserole, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, cranberries, rolls and then pumpkin bars and apple pie for dessert. I spent all day in the kitchen and the house smelled like heaven. It actually made me tear up a little because it smelled just like my grandmother's house. :)</div>

The next day, our playgroup paid a visit to the fire station! I anticipated Addi to just be so excited because she loves when fire trucks go down our street. Not so much! She was really quiet and almost scared the whole time. She's deathly afraid of fire and maybe she thought there was going to be fire there? Also, she thought the sirens were going to turn on and she doesn't like loud noises. Just like her momma! </div>

We went and saw sweet baby Gracynn that night! She is SO precious. Addi gave us a little taste of what to expect when Rhett gets here. I was holding Gracynn and Addi was playing with a plastic ball. She said catch and chunked the ball right at Gracynn's head! Oh my word!! Luckily, I caught it just before it hit, but my word! Rhett is going to be a tough little boy!</div>

Take your chicken out and shred it using two forks, put it back in the pan with the chiles and onion, stir in the WHOLE container of cooking creme. Fill your tortillas with the mixture, roll up and place seam side down in a baking dish. I also like to pour a little of the enchilada sauce on the bottom so they won't stick. Top with the rest of the enchilada sauce, and cheese and then bake for 25 minutes at 350. I topped mine with some fresh chopped cilantro and it gave it a really nice flavor.<br /><br />Enjoy!Ashley E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09187140946391953886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683340958294678382.post-32924895790691241132011-03-24T21:32:00.001-07:002011-03-24T21:37:34.821-07:00Chicken Spaghetti<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrE2VjnpWq3YPb1q0HWsQRZ0G8ZP54e3AWnk1Of34olJsiUehhzWJqgLUsx_-eCyOhD6RsB6SsVcXQKHy1V1YznnVBBkmOJroikNGNFUH6ozkRflEhfMW7QGXGD6aa9-RZVWSjKen1E7Y/s1600/Chicken+Spaghetti.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrE2VjnpWq3YPb1q0HWsQRZ0G8ZP54e3AWnk1Of34olJsiUehhzWJqgLUsx_-eCyOhD6RsB6SsVcXQKHy1V1YznnVBBkmOJroikNGNFUH6ozkRflEhfMW7QGXGD6aa9-RZVWSjKen1E7Y/s400/Chicken+Spaghetti.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587871974869107858" /></a><br /><br />I'm sure mostly everyone has had this at some point or another.

It was DELICIOUS, but better than that, it's actually semi-healthy! I used turkey instead of ground beef, and I added finely chopped carrots and butternut squash (just had it in the fridge) for an extra veggie dose. The original recipe calls for chopped zucchini, but I didn't have it and I'm not sure if I would like that, but feel free to use that if you like!<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided<br />1 1/2 pounds ground turkey<br />1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix<br />1 teaspoon dried oregano<br />1 1/2 tsp. ancho chili powder (if you don't have ancho, just double up on regular)<br />1 tsp. regular chili powder<br />2 tablespoons tomato paste<br />1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth<br />1 (7 ounce) can salsa<br />1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in puree<br />1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers<br />1 medium onion, finely chopped<br />1 green bell pepper, diced<br /><br />Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, oregano, chili powder, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned.<br />Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water.<br />While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. This is where I added the carrots and squash. Add veggie mix to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer.<br /><br />Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.<br /><br />This was the best chili we've ever made and it had just the right amount of spice. <br /><br />Enjoy!!!Ashley E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09187140946391953886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683340958294678382.post-12019501882250092252010-12-15T20:21:00.000-08:002011-01-11T10:54:22.603-08:00Coffee Punch<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWJ4a-7fMzDvbqQz2Lr4TQ4_l5pf_zaCbJrZf0K1hMKiNwSXh-KzqlqJ5qtlRYfC7KyvnUJi_-NuvQ7BnMMUulcXn2rCuiRQsCkRbvHaPKclpJKTbVa4HjRdyTrjskYu4iLiJRwD0dMI/s1600/DSCF0114.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWJ4a-7fMzDvbqQz2Lr4TQ4_l5pf_zaCbJrZf0K1hMKiNwSXh-KzqlqJ5qtlRYfC7KyvnUJi_-NuvQ7BnMMUulcXn2rCuiRQsCkRbvHaPKclpJKTbVa4HjRdyTrjskYu4iLiJRwD0dMI/s400/DSCF0114.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551130913979669810" /></a><br />I LOVE this punch!

Can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted over here! So, this is something that I found off of another blog and thought sounded delicious, so I made it! It is SO good y'all! This is a southern thing too, so even better!<br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />3 eggs<br />1 1/4 cup sugar<br />1/2 cup buttermilk<br />1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter, melted<br />1 teaspoon vanilla<br />1/16 teaspoon salt<br /><br />one unbaked pie shell<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />Beat eggs, sugar, buttermilk, butter, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth.<br />Pour into pie shell. (Cover edge until last 10 mins or so)<br /><br />Bake in 350 degree oven for 40-45 mins or until light brown. (Mine had to go a little bit longer and remember, once it cools it firms up, so it's okay if it's a little jiggly!) Also, we think it's best served chilled with some whipped cream!<br /><br />Enjoy!Ashley E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09187140946391953886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683340958294678382.post-41795758471539749672010-10-25T19:04:00.000-07:002010-10-25T19:08:21.192-07:00Pumpkin Pie Dip<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZIcy03DUDTeWRk9ie5NifLmHKcu_Xaan2f9W0nFcDFykdfFv6_I9PHU6KvTOMQ_RERY3Ec5-EU0B8wJ4_cXFtk4MhrHGvMeq9DaSUEP8W9pEcwWmVSred63DKURS_uaVGEpkd7ZVnFw/s1600/DSC04828.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZIcy03DUDTeWRk9ie5NifLmHKcu_Xaan2f9W0nFcDFykdfFv6_I9PHU6KvTOMQ_RERY3Ec5-EU0B8wJ4_cXFtk4MhrHGvMeq9DaSUEP8W9pEcwWmVSred63DKURS_uaVGEpkd7ZVnFw/s320/DSC04828.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532169869020906498" /></a><br /><br />I made this for playgroup tomorrow and I might have to make another batch!

It's so good and easy! Oh and you could also substitute chicken for the beef!<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />flour tortillas(I used 6 of the smaller sized ones)<br />1 lb. of ground beef (I actually used venison last night, because we have a whole freezer full of it!)<br />1 4oz. can of diced green chiles<br />1 10oz. can of enchilada sauce<br />1/4 cup of sour cream<br />packet of taco seasoning<br />lots of shredded cheddar<br /><br />Directions:<br />Brown your ground beef with the green chiles. Drain. Put a few Tbsp. of enchilada sauce in the bottom of your square pan. Mix the sour cream with the rest of the enchilada sauce in a saucepan over medium low heat. (Or microwave it, you just want it to be hot.) Take a tortilla, put a couple of spoonfuls of the meat mixture in and sprinkle some cheese over the top. Roll up and place seam side down in the pan. I usually have some ground beef left over so I just pour that over the top of the enchiladas, then I pour the sauce, and then I top with about a cup of shredded cheddar. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 375!<br /><br />Enjoy!!!Ashley E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09187140946391953886noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683340958294678382.post-9717406617189692162010-10-03T18:23:00.000-07:002010-10-06T20:45:25.182-07:00Sausage Bake<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDuYnw4YOTqsDtHKaVR49hG26-1GgJe0RrfPadRP90-baZ2oJQiCAFi_xEiRV5rUPhTw-avBShZeAy-CClTKLOOTYV_l2iEw4K8fAPw0hVvkp7_1hhJ-7uETKvIZIBMOERBoDnfsAME3w/s1600/DSCF0154.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDuYnw4YOTqsDtHKaVR49hG26-1GgJe0RrfPadRP90-baZ2oJQiCAFi_xEiRV5rUPhTw-avBShZeAy-CClTKLOOTYV_l2iEw4K8fAPw0hVvkp7_1hhJ-7uETKvIZIBMOERBoDnfsAME3w/s320/DSCF0154.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523995430920517106" /></a><br /><br />This is my go to 30 minute meal, my go to company's coming dinner, and a meal that just says fall to me.

It's so good, so simple, and probably best of all this version is very healthy! Shocking I know!<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />4 cups cooked rice<br />1 red bell pepper (diced)<br />1 1/2 cups of cooked diced chicken<br />1 head of broccoli (chopped)<br />1/2 bag of shredded cabbage and carrots<br />soy sauce<br />sesame oil<br />garlic powder<br /><br />Optional: <br />onion-I have been really squeamish over onions lately so I left this out. <br />egg-just crack an egg into the mix about halfway through cooking, I just forgot about this one!<br />mushrooms<br />baby corn<br />water chestnuts<br />fresh garlic (just didn't feel like chopping tonight!)<br /><br />Directions:<br />I do a combo of half olive oil, half sesame oil because the sesame oil has a really strong flavor. Use about a Tablespoon of each and heat your pan over medium high heat. Throw in your broccoli, red pepper and if you want to add any of the other options, now is the time to throw it in. <br /><br />Let that cook for about 5 minutes, then throw in your cabbage mix. The cabbage will start to brown and get really soft after a few minutes. Toss in your chicken and this is where I sprinkled a little bit of the garlic powder in. Let that go for another couple of minutes, shake a couple of dashes of soy sauce in and stir. I honestly don't know how much soy sauce I added.

I just changed it up a bit. <br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />10 red potatoes<br />3/4 tub of cream cheese<br />1/2 cup sour cream<br />1 stick of butter<br />salt<br />pepper<br />1/3 cup mozzarella<br /><br />Directions:<br />Boil or bake your potatoes till they are almost cooked. I did both, I boiled them for about 15 minutes (mine were HUGE) and then baked them in the oven for 10 minutes. I then sliced them in half and scooped out most of the filling. You have to be careful here, because you want to leave a little bit of potato in the skin so it can hold the mashed potato mixture. <br />I melted the butter and cream cheese together, and then added the sour cream and salt and pepper. I mashed the insides of the potatoes with about half, maybe a little more of the butter and cream cheese mix. <br />Put the potato mixture back into the skins and then I spooned a little more of the cream cheese/butter/sour cream mix onto the potatoes. Then I topped it with a little mozzarella. <br />Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is a little golden.<br /><br />I got several comments saying these were the best potatoes EVER!!!<br /><br />Enjoy!Ashley E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09187140946391953886noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683340958294678382.post-59472737506558157952010-08-17T18:23:00.000-07:002010-10-06T20:46:44.771-07:00Slow Cooker Chicken that doesn't have a name...yet<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1LhCxxHmoazgaLxj6Um-r-3o7QnJJuOTxvuSJmqEjOPzdfKsfJbAu9NRrr6LtkA2pgWYFxyLjMV3XEkPJaECMN_vNDeJLOAHt-DyEt8xXKbvJPRWoSSJIy42aTMnPocemf6GaPs9M8VY/s1600/DSC03567.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1LhCxxHmoazgaLxj6Um-r-3o7QnJJuOTxvuSJmqEjOPzdfKsfJbAu9NRrr6LtkA2pgWYFxyLjMV3XEkPJaECMN_vNDeJLOAHt-DyEt8xXKbvJPRWoSSJIy42aTMnPocemf6GaPs9M8VY/s320/DSC03567.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506554733099615778" /></a><br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I put mine in frozen.)<br />1 can of golden mushroom soup<br />1 pkg. of Italian dressing mix<br />1 green bell pepper<br />1/4 cup chicken stock<br />1/4 cup heavy cream<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />Put the chicken in your slow cooker.

You could definitely adjust this to whatever cheeses and meats you have.<br />Again, there was no measuring, so I'm trying to estimate how much I used. <br />Start by boiling 4 cups of elbow macaroni until al dente.<br /><br />Then you basically, you make a roux out of the flour and butter. <br />Ingredients:<br />5 Tbsp. flour<br />1 stick butter<br />1 1/2 cup milk<br /><br />Melt the butter in a saucepan and then add your flour. Whisk till all the lumps are gone. Keep whisking until the flour/butter mixture starts to get some color to it. Then, add your milk! Start with 1 cup, then add more if necessary. You want it to be a sauce like consistency, but not too thick because you still have to add your cheeses. That is your basis for any sauce you want to do. After you make that, you can add your cheeses and whatever else you want. <br /><br />I added:<br />1 cup mexican four cheese blend (shredded)<br />1 cup grated parmesan<br />1 can of diced green chiles (drained)<br />1 bag of Hormel bacon bits<br />2 Tbsp. cream cheese<br /><br />Just add all of these into your sauce and stir until melted. Drain your pasta and stir in the sauce. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Top with more shredded cheese.<br /><br />I made a cracker crumb topping using club crackers.<br />Just melt a stick of butter and crush up half a package of club crackers (ritz would be good also!) and mix together then sprinkle over your mac and cheese.<br /><br />Bake at 375 for 15 minutes.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy! I'm going to try to start writing down how much I use of things, because it's really hard to think back how much I used.Ashley E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09187140946391953886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683340958294678382.post-46647414160778277632010-07-23T01:47:00.000-07:002010-10-06T20:47:30.778-07:00Spinach Artichoke Dip Lasagna<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMtZluWFte4OkQhFklsCSIjhOC-yTO9R47lfEmfNhWCzQBjMUYlVgeO63NFtlqldj5DqSjucEPpRRhY-bnjtxPHox8UKtS3xIVDagW0kzUMbrZZklfOxGj88SgEleowd1bdK9PtoIXK48/s1600/DSC02824.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMtZluWFte4OkQhFklsCSIjhOC-yTO9R47lfEmfNhWCzQBjMUYlVgeO63NFtlqldj5DqSjucEPpRRhY-bnjtxPHox8UKtS3xIVDagW0kzUMbrZZklfOxGj88SgEleowd1bdK9PtoIXK48/s320/DSC02824.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497021137098762194" /></a><br />Okay so I'm going to attempt to re-create the lasagna I threw together the other night!<br /><br />First, I boiled a package of lasagna in lightly salted water. While that was cooking I made my fillings.<br />The first filling was the ricotta mixture.<br />-15oz. container of ricotta<br />-1 egg<br />-1 Tbsp. oregano<br />-1 Tbsp. dried basil<br />-1 tsp. rosemary<br />-1 tsp. thyme<br />-1 tsp. garlic powder<br />-1 tsp. black pepper<br />-1/3 cup grated Parmesan<br />Mix together and set aside.<br /><br />The next filling was the spinach artichoke dip.<br />-1 jar of alfredo sauce<br />-1/2 8oz. package of frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)<br />-15 oz. can of artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)<br />-8 oz. cream cheese (softened)<br />-2 Tbsp. sour cream<br />-1/3 cup grated Parmesan<br />-1/2 cup shredded mozzarella<br /><br />I also had two cooked chicken breasts that I had chopped.<br /><br />So....to assemble!<br /><br />In your pan, lay down four lasagna noodles. Put half of your ricotta mixture on top of the noodles, then scatter half of the chicken over that. Then put half of the spinach dip over the chicken. Now for the good part, layer sliced provolone over the artichoke dip! Repeat. <br /><br />Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 40 minutes. Take foil off and bake another 10 minutes or until cheese is a little browned.

You could also use flank steak, but I think the skirt steak has more marbling (more fat) and that's another reason I prefer it, more flavor!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQLu9c60EJCbq44fkVhzNNBiy4M49ucEKcZwGdOIR0Sbq7DDzBYfZo1NY8HufOZjz7WbIUkSkNdOST6ZHjpuHptYiuLr6Q3BHbEuCgRvxm9zQMw5rJ6YsI-Sz4fy0gAEYZ5e2PB8b5170/s1600/DSCF0005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQLu9c60EJCbq44fkVhzNNBiy4M49ucEKcZwGdOIR0Sbq7DDzBYfZo1NY8HufOZjz7WbIUkSkNdOST6ZHjpuHptYiuLr6Q3BHbEuCgRvxm9zQMw5rJ6YsI-Sz4fy0gAEYZ5e2PB8b5170/s320/DSCF0005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497012127870543490" /></a><br />First, you make the marinade!<br />1/4 cup of vegetable oil (I used EVOO because I was out)<br />juice of one lime<br />*1 bunch of cilantro<br />*1 serrano or jalapeno pepper<br />*I put these two in the food processor together <br />1 1/2 Tbsp. of ancho chile powder <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2eljrAcxx6G9No00cs3QYSa9Ij4teL0H3uIR3Q9n9XYyoKn_PdDUTCcst_tKqAqDnt0vQPmk2Gs7pk22AbKM-b8Y2vuKHLQ5DDIoE1akn9BjOpE5NhUd0eLz-cCzcys2ZDBGjOoKO7ro/s1600/DSCF0002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2eljrAcxx6G9No00cs3QYSa9Ij4teL0H3uIR3Q9n9XYyoKn_PdDUTCcst_tKqAqDnt0vQPmk2Gs7pk22AbKM-b8Y2vuKHLQ5DDIoE1akn9BjOpE5NhUd0eLz-cCzcys2ZDBGjOoKO7ro/s320/DSCF0002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497010873964145122" /></a><br />Whisk all together and then pour over your skirt steak and make sure all of the steak is covered.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbGhMi2SO-QQZzzdGc4ahSJX5TJ7RTWUz4Lyd53CCAkYNUWW5GTWQ75j1f10d4doipMnE08PUGzoZPYa6efXT6NbDxiLLseqeqGZ6sJNKqSpo2wlPf8981q3IuATc9A5oNgagjGWpMYA/s1600/DSCF0008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIbGhMi2SO-QQZzzdGc4ahSJX5TJ7RTWUz4Lyd53CCAkYNUWW5GTWQ75j1f10d4doipMnE08PUGzoZPYa6efXT6NbDxiLLseqeqGZ6sJNKqSpo2wlPf8981q3IuATc9A5oNgagjGWpMYA/s320/DSCF0008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497011982305537650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDDw7vLLbl4owqpKCHhtrjPfCkAjoCeimPqS6NVN31LT9BdS2gnCkb5VxKSglxhVWL4b6wtqz_6mZbLn-a41ExL_KSL_Dt8lWOnc32jgcexomVEIW2Nre47YO7s8Md-R1TFYB9Pgw4NBg/s1600/DSCF0010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDDw7vLLbl4owqpKCHhtrjPfCkAjoCeimPqS6NVN31LT9BdS2gnCkb5VxKSglxhVWL4b6wtqz_6mZbLn-a41ExL_KSL_Dt8lWOnc32jgcexomVEIW2Nre47YO7s8Md-R1TFYB9Pgw4NBg/s320/DSCF0010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497012381278219042" /></a><br />We only marinate the steak for an hour since the lime juice in the marinade can start to "cook" the steak because of the acidity. <br />Okay so preheat your grill to medium high heat and toss the steaks on for three minutes per side for medium rare. The good thing about these steaks though is if you want more of a medium well you can just heat your grill higher on one side. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6f-dK7ZOONZsKxXNKadPbhn2582i4UlPNKLlJjNQk8qm9B0vJM_nikOjf6DnNIr1H0N9yMfU4AdUgb0I7E8_3i_-ons7oqzpFTeU3w4WPaBndcGqqN1fpwxu4rlEQVyxW04HGyPEmOY/s1600/DSC02790.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio6f-dK7ZOONZsKxXNKadPbhn2582i4UlPNKLlJjNQk8qm9B0vJM_nikOjf6DnNIr1H0N9yMfU4AdUgb0I7E8_3i_-ons7oqzpFTeU3w4WPaBndcGqqN1fpwxu4rlEQVyxW04HGyPEmOY/s320/DSC02790.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497013295514757714" /></a><br />We made fajitas out of these and they were SOOOO good. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdrG2WVixuy3mTXOv8ki8iIxhwjm9r0VFbTDBoMLZWDzvw4b7rAtbjcuZ-oD6CLrrZaIv0HsRjx-u3RaItlMV9paYDRS_cscmhl7_6aa6bim_rgGLoPf_ITNOmecy7Lgl-2ipYdgF6PFU/s1600/DSC02793.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdrG2WVixuy3mTXOv8ki8iIxhwjm9r0VFbTDBoMLZWDzvw4b7rAtbjcuZ-oD6CLrrZaIv0HsRjx-u3RaItlMV9paYDRS_cscmhl7_6aa6bim_rgGLoPf_ITNOmecy7Lgl-2ipYdgF6PFU/s320/DSC02793.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497013438857796402" /></a><br />Hope you enjoy!!!!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/222/FCFE20E064BBF9FD9497ECA43E9E16B5.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Ashley E.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09187140946391953886noreply@blogger.com0
