We had breakfast hash, the recipe for which is below. Then we ran to Ace Hardware to fill our propane tank to use with our 'new' (at least to us) BBQ for dinner. We stopped in at the Walmart Neighborhood Market and picked up some low priced steaks, some garlic, and cheese. We came home and I started this new blog.
For all intents and purposes this Blog is a step in the right direction to my Freelance work.
So back to Labor Day!
We purchased a small kid pool at Ace while we were there for Propane. We brought it home and filled it. We soaked our feet while the dogs played a little in it as well. It was refreshing to cool down that way after the hot day we had.
We prepared dinner: Steak, Baked Potatoes, and Creamed Carrots! Yummy!
Instructions are below (keep in mind I don't usually measure things when I cook so amounts are to your preference).
For the Creamed Carrots I simply cut the ends of the carrots, peeled them and cut each carrot into 3 sections then cut those sections in half. I put them in a pan covered in Milk with 2 tablespoons of butter and Salt and Pepper to taste. We boil those until they are soft.
For the Baked Potatoes we simply washed two slightly larger than medium potatoes, poked a couple holes in them, wrapped them in tinfoil and tossed them on the hot BBQ.
As for the steak I first put some olive oil, steak rub, Italian Seasoning, Onion Powder, Salt & Pepper, and Parsley on a plate and coated the sides of each steak in the mixture. They marinated for about 20-30 minutes on the plate then went directly on the grill. Once they reached an internal temperature of 160*F I brought them inside to my cast iron skillet where I added a tablespoon of my garlic butter mix (instructions for garlic butter are below) to each steak to finish up the cooking. We have all the right toppings for the Baked Potatoes and they do take the longest to cook so get them cooking ahead of time.
Garlic Butter Mix
1/2 C. Butter (softened)
2 T. Minced Garlic
1 tsp. Parsley
1 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1 tsp. Onion Powder
Mix all ingredients together then roll in Parchment paper and place in the freezer. Use desired amount as needed in cooking. *Can be used for Garlic Butter Steak, Baked Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli, etc.*
Finished Products! It was so yummy!
It has been an awesome weekend spent with the husband, even the moving although I am not a fan of moving but we are in an actual house now so I can't complain so much about this move.
