2022 continued where 2020 and 2021 left off. It was another awkward year with many events affecting supply chains, gatherings, etc. Again, I focused my culinary energy on the good times. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special days and holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. For me a meal means so much more than filling my stomach. Often there are good times involved and the meal is a marker of those good times. I can often look at the meal photo and remember what happened while I was enjoying it. It was great to share so many great meals with so many great people in 2022. It was also great to try a few new dishes. Super memories! This year, like last year, I have chosen to squeeze in some photos of my own dishes as well as some of the dishes I enjoyed while eating out. Food is not only great to taste and enjoy, but a beautiful sight to see. Thank you for supporting my blog with your readership. It’s been ten years of writing about many things now. Wow, time flies! It’s been an awkward year, but a great year. May God continue to provide. And may we all learn to love, live, enjoy great meals together, and get along in the way God intended. Bon Appetit!

2021 continued where 2020 left off. It was another awkward year. Lost work, layoffs, food shortages on certain items, frozen city with no electricity for days, you name it. This year I focused my culinary energy on the good times. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special days (IE: Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc,), and holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Cubed Sauteed Flat-Iron Steak with Garlic Alfredo Florentine Angel Hair Pasta
Posted: May 21, 2013 in FoodTags: Cook, Digital photography, Fettuccine Alfredo, Garlic, Pasta, Photography, Sautéing, spinach, Steak, Texas
I love cooking flat-iron steaks because they are much cheaper than filet mignon, but they are almost as tender. It is the most tender steak outside of filet. Tonight, I decided against grilling do to the Texas heat, and cubed the flat-iron steak sauteing it in about 15 cloves of garlic, one onion, and some Cajun seasoning. I then sautéed the spinach with garlic, and cooked the angel hair pasta, and mixed it all together with alfredo sauce in my big pasta bowl.
It would have made the greatest Italian happy! Hey, it will make anyone happy.
Here is the LOVELY dish.

Montreal Blade Steaks, Sauteed Mushrooms, Roasted Eggplant, and Steamed Broccoli
Posted: April 22, 2013 in FoodTags: Beef, Blade steak, Broccoli, Cook, eggplant, Food, home meal, Montreal steak, Mushroom, Olive oil, Steak
One of the cheaper cuts of beef, that is quite lean and tender, is a blade steak. I really like them for there small thin size, and rich flavor. For this 40 minute home meal, I rubbed the blade steaks with olive oil and seasoned with Montreal Steak Season by McCormick. The blade steaks are cooked three minutes on each side to render them medium. Personally, I think it is a sin to cook a steak well-done. You might as well eat shoe leather.
The mushrooms were sauteed in butter. Yes, pure butter like grandma and grandpa use to use, and a little lemon pepper. Margarine may be lower in fat, but it is man-made and has additives.
The eggplant is sliced, peeled, coated liberally in olive oil, seasoned with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and roasted at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
The broccoli trees are trimmed from the stem, the stems are sliced, and placed in a steamer basket for about six minutes. You want your broccoli slightly crunchy. If it is soft, it is over-cooked.
As always, have your ingredients out and ready.
Oil your meat and season. It should be shiny.
Prep the eggplant and prepare for the oven.
Saute the mushrooms while the other items are cooking.
Place broccoli in steamer basket.
Enjoy Dinner!
