Steak + Chimmichurri



If you haven't tried this combo, shame on you, next time you do steak and potatoes, make this.


Steak:
-season with sea salt, ground pepper, Worcestershire sauce + soy sauce
5-8 Mins each side on a skillet

Chimichurri Sauce:
2 cloves of garlic
olive oil
FRESH parsley
Fresh Oregano
White Wine Vinegar (just a splash)

Potatoes:
Purple potatoes + Yukon Golds

I personally love Sage+Butter, so I mixed some up with garlic and rubbed them on the potatoes.


DONE!

Penguin Cupcakes gone silly

S'more Brownies



I'm not sure what my obsession is with browned marshmallows and chocolate is, but its damn good.

How to:

-Make some basic brownies, with eggs, flour, cocoa, real bittersweet melted chocolate, use oil to make them moist
-when the brownies are almost done cooking, fill top with large marshmallows and watch them closely, they might burn!

Mixed Berry Pie



Stawberry, Blackberry, Blueberry Raspberry Pie. Serve with a spoonful of plain organic bulkan yogurt, you can't go wrong with this pie.

French Onion Soup


French Onion Soup

* Some butter
* 3 tablespoons oil
* 5 large onions, peeled and sliced thinly
* Splash of water
* Salt

The Soup
* 3 sprigs fresh thyme
* 6 cups Chicken Broth
* Salt and pepper
* 4 slices slices multi-grain bread, cut into rounds to fit bowls, toasted
* 2 cups Swiss, Gruyere or emmenthal cheese, grated

From Michael Smith:
The Soup

1. When the onions are a deep golden colour and have shrunk dramatically, add the brandy, thyme and broth.
2. Season with salt and pepper and let simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven's broiler. Ladle the soup into 4 onion soup or ovenproof bowls and fit a slice of toast over each bowl.
4. Sprinkle each evenly with the cheese and place bowls onto a baking sheet.
5. Place under the broiler and broil until the soup is bubbling and the tops are golden brown.
