Steak with Peppers & Tomatoes







This steak with homemade fries turned out delicious! I first cut up two potatoes, covered in olive oil, sprinkled with salt & threw them in the oven for about 35 minutes at 400 degrees. Then I seasoned the steaks & cooked in the frying pan in olive oil. When they were a little over half way done I tossed in the green & red bell pepper & garlic clove. Once the steaks were done I added 2 chopped up tomatoes & mixed together. I placed it all in a dish lined with foil & broiled for 5 minutes. It turned out very tasty! And Charlie enjoyed steak with leftover rice & his veg mixture. He loves steak!

Zucchini Boats







This recipe for zucchini boats is simple & fun. I mixed ground beef with mushrooms, red bell peppers, & onion & sauteed. I then cut the zucchini lengthwise, scooped out the center & filled with mixture. I sprinkled with grated cheese & baked for 25 min. Although I enjoyed this dish, I am not planning on making it again. It tasted a little too much like tacos, probably due to the red pepper. I like the idea of filling the zucchini with a mixture. I will probably try something more Italian tasting next time. I'll let you know how it turns out! Charlie enjoyed the ground beef with a little zucchini!
