Coffee-Rubbed Steak with Peppers and Onions

Image
Today is Monday. I can’t believe I have been at this for at least nine days and I haven’t discussed my very favorite food yet: coffee! Oh, the joy of drinking coffee is something nothing else gives me. Throw in a pastry and my kids being anywhere else, and I am happy as a kitten in a ray of sunshine. I don’t often have the chance to incorporate God’s gift to humanity into my dinners, so this short, easy recipe caught my attention. My kids all LOVE steak- far more than either Steve or I care for it. I did not make cornbread because carbs, but I did have a huge side of leftover potato wedges from our weekend of caloric debauchery that I just couldn’t let go to waste. Potatoes are a rarity around here. Like the soldier that I am, I abstained from the fries. (Well I didn't put any on my plate at least.).

Liz: On Picky Eaters

Picky eaters? Never liked ‘em. Don’t really believe them either. I allow everyone maybe five foods they truly hate. You like mushrooms. You do! You may just need to give them another chance. There are so many different ways to prepare different foods and so many different seasonings and sauces that I just can’t believe someone when they tell me they don’t like something. I usually blame the parents. It’s probably your mom’s fault you think you don’t like fish or green beans. Well, you are the chef now, and food has come a long way since your mom was cooking for you every night. If I can learn to love a good honey balsamic marinade when honey is the most disgusting food on the planet, you can do it too! And any little people in your home may just follow suit. ;0)
