September Feast y'all! Better late than never, right? The three ingredients picked were: flank steak, kale, and for dessert, something baked. With this, I went with a mid-rare skirt steak (couldn't get my hands on flank, but close enough!) seasoned with a simple salt, black pepper, and cumin rub, seared on a pan. I incorporated the kale into my version of a chimichurri sauce to enhance the flavor of otherwise blah kale. The end product was one of the best meals my husband and I have eaten (of course, aside from the amazing 3 course post 2nd wedding meal in the Maldives...ask me about it ;) ). I didn't make a side for this because a.) I made it on a very very busy night, and b.) I wanted to showcase my meat cooking skills, which I'm slowly perfecting! I just paired it with a soft pretzel roll.
What's in it: skirt steak, salt, pepper, cumin, cilantro, parsley, kale, coarse sea salt, lemon, EVOO
Dessert! This is really quite simple. Like really simple. Like no brain power involved. Even your engineer husband can make it! Steps: bake a sweet potato, cut lengthwise. take out the potato from the skin and mash together with brown sugar (and a drop of vanilla if you want it sweeter). stick it back in the oven for a few minutes. top with toasted almonds (*these almonds here aren't toasted because I didn't have time). enjoy!
