Ugly Salad



This particular manifestation of Ugly Salad is not to ugly.
It is - Tomatoes, Avocado, and Mango (equal parts) with salt and pepper and olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
It was named "ugly salad" by my hubby because if you make it a mixed salad of chunks and your avocados are super ripe they mush into a brown slime with the balsamic vinegar. Just as delicious, but kinda ugly.

Pesto Meatballs

1.5 lbs of ground beef (I used grass fed organic)
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 egg
salt and pepper
1/3 (ish) cup prepared pesto

mix it all together and make meatballs
I make mine super small so that they cook quick and have lots of crispy sides
I cooked mine in olive oil in a pan and then finished them in the oven

Skirt steak




If you haven't tried skirt steak, you should. Because it is delicious! I got mine on sale and used it for fajitas. I marinated it in olive oil, lime juice and fajita seasoning and then grilled it on high and it was devine. MAKE SURE that you cut it against the grain, NOT with the grain, or it is super tough. (Sorry if the pic is gross, I think it is yummy)
