Steaks with Cilantro-Corn Gremolata

September 22, 2010

I haven’t always been steak savvy. Proof? I once cooked a T-bone in the crockpot. I wanted a barbecue beef sandwich and figured that a T-bone + barbecue sauce would cut it. The horror on a friend’s face when I told them my plans for dinner! When you buy a slab of steak at the [...]

Homemade Healthy Sloppy Joes

Every Sunday, I sit down and plan our dinners for the week. All 7 of them. And yet somehow I then spend the majority of the next 7 nights trying to get around the menu. What sounded good on Sunday just doesn’t sound as appealing on Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or Friday. Maybe I get a [...]

Beef Fajitas

We have two favorite places to hit up for fajitas: Lupe Tortilla (best fajitas in Houston) and El Tiempo (best “chicken fajitas” in Houston). I’m a red meat kind of girl and the Foodie Groom is all about white meat when it comes to fajitas. The upside, clearly, is that the food (and drinks!) at [...]
