Steak With Shrimp & Parmesan Cheese Garlic Sauce

This is a new favorite of ours! The sauce is very rich but it just goes perfectly with the steak. We served ours with grilled asparagus and it was an awesome meal... perfect if you are craving some surf & turf!

Ingredients:

2 New York Strip
2 C heavy cream
1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp minced garlic
salt & pepper to taste
1 lb shrimp, deveined, skin, head & tails removed

Lightly coat both sides of steaks with olive oil, salt, pepper and minced garlic {to taste}. Place Basil leaves on top of steaks and wrap in saran wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.  Grill steaks to medium rare {remove basil when turn, placing basil on opposite side of steak while grilling}.

Heat cream in sauce pan and bring to light boil.

 Cook until it is half it's original volume {stirring consistently}. Mix in Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, pepper and garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add shrimp, and cook until pink and cooked through.

Top steak with shrimp & sauce.

Roasted Brussel Spouts

This is my favorite way to make {and eat} Brussel sprouts! I don't know what it is about these... what I call 'mini-cabbages' but I could eat them 7 days a week! This is the only way I make them...

Ingredients:
1 package of fresh brussle spouts
2-3 tbsp olive oil
sea salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse brussle spouts and tear off any yellow leaves. trim brown parts off bottom. Cut each in half. Place in bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss.

spread evenly on baking sheet and cook for 40-50 minutes until brown and crispy on outside.

Sprinkle with more salt to taste and serve.

My kids even eat these... although we call them 'brussle chips' ... seems to give the impression that no, honey, its not good for you! haha! Enjoy!!!

Sweet Onion Muffins

I cannot remember where I found this recipe ... but I have been making these muffins for years and they are always such a big hit. I love them and try to make them as often as I can.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 C All Purpose Flour
1/2 C sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 C finely chopped onion
1/2 C melted butter


In a medium bowl  combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In another bowl beat eggs, onion and melted butter together.

Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients, just until moistened.

Fill greased muffin cups 3/4 full and bake at 400 degrees 20-25 min.

Cool five minutes before removing. Serve warm.

*If making mini-muffins bake 10-12 minutes.


These are really worth a try! A bit of sweet a bit of savory... they are just really that good!
