Dinner for 2
Mr. Drake and I agree on some things, food not being one of them. I am a half-hippie, granola munching, veggie burger eating, "SAVE THE CHICKENS!" proclaiming health nut. Mr. Drake is more of a "where's the beef?" type of guy. If there's no meat on the plate, it must not be a meal. Sometimes dinner together can pose a challenge, but I'm up for it, and I love cooking for my favorite. Tonight it's hamburger steaks with green peas and carrots, and leftover baked potato. My hamburger steak = a veggie burger with some sauteed onions on top. It's not much... but at least it's not a cow :) I haven't made hamburger steak for Alex in I can't remember when, so when I'm looking for guidance on simple but delicious meals, this is where I go: www.thepioneerwoman.com. Never disappointed. One of my favorite things about this website is that she has a "cowboy food" section for man-approved meals. Comes in handy when trying to feed a hungry husband. For the hamburger steaks, I followed most of Ree's recipe for Salisbury steak, but I didn't make the gravy, I just stuck with the sauteed onions. For peas and carrots I heat up a little olive oil in a sautee pan, add diced carrots, let them cook for a few minutes, add frozen peas, season with salt and pepper, sautee until the peas and bright green, not over cooked. I thought I hated green peas when I was little, my mom only cooked canned green peas... gross. What's your go-to place for recipes?
