Recipes To Try - Father's Day Edition

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen Sunday.  But that's okay, my husband, the father of my children, is worth it.  Here's some of the things I whipped up:

For lunch I made Paula Deen's chicken salad.  For some reason or another, I forgot to take a picture of it.  Believe me when I say this recipe is super simple to make and it tastes delicious.  I always wind up adding more mayonnaise though.

I also made The Pioneer Woman's Deviled Eggs.  Here's a sad little picture of a lonely deviled egg - all his little friends had already met their demise.  I thought my husband was sneaking in the fridge and eating them throughout the day - come to find out, it was my sneaky 3-year-old.

For supper we had The Pioneer Woman's Cowboy Bacon Beans:

Delicious!

Pioneer Woman's Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:

Probably the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten

And we marinaded a couple of ribeyes in this steak marinade.
 

I'm going to list the recipe for that marinade here because the link for it is all wonky on Pinterest.  And I.have.no.earthly.idea.how.I.lived.without.Pinterest.


Steak Marinade

¼  cups Olive Oil
¼  cups Balsamic Vinegar
¼  cups Worcestershire Sauce
¼  cups Soy Sauce
2  teaspoons Dijon Mustard
2  teaspoons Minced Garlic
Salt And Pepper, to taste

Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Makes enough marinade for 4 steaks - but I use it on 2 steaks - the more the merrier, right?

We had some full bellies on Father's Day.  I'll definitely be making all these things again. 

Texas Music Around Fort Worth Weekend of June 14, 2013

 

Since this post takes me quite a bit of time to pull together, I've decided I'm just going to list what I consider Texas Music / country music/ music that appeals to me and hopefully lots of other people.  If I have to list a parentheses (rock, funk) or whatever heck else, I'm not going to post it.  I'm sorry if that offends anybody, but that's just the way it is.  

Now here's you some dang good ol' TEXAS MUSIC:

What I've Been Working On - Wooden Shelves

Isn't it amazing what a little bit of paint can do...paint and a little elbow grease.  Bought these shelves at a garage sale for $4.  Sanded them down a bit and then spray painted them with a can of Key Lime spray paint.  Easy peasy limey squeezy.
