I spent most of my life finding out who I am. Turns out I'm "Mom"...which is actually pretty cool.

Chow Time: Tonight's Dinner

I wrote about planning your dinners for a month.  If I'm going to encourage it, I guess I should share some of my dinner ideas.  Wednesday is "Ethnic Night" here, so tonight we're going Argentinian.  I may be stretching it with the sides, but I had a hard time finding Argentine veggies.  Feel free to comment with any suggestions.  If you try my recipes, please comment and let me know what you think and/or what kind of alterations you made.  I love feedback.

Flank Steak with Chimichurri
Roasted Potatoes
Grilled Asparagus and Red Peppers

Chimichurri
2 cups fresh parsley (I like to do half cilantro)
4 cloves garlic
1/2 small onion
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
chop with a food processor or immersion blender
use half the sauce for marinating
grill the flank steak medium rare, cut with the grain into 1/4 inch slices, spoon remaining sauce over steak

Roasted Potatoes
2 large baking potatoes
2 tbs of your favorite dried herbs
1 tbs olive oil
salt and pepper
cut the potatoes in to 1 in cubes and toss in the remaining ingredients, roast for 30 minutes @ 425

Grilled Asparagus and Red Peppers
1 lb asparagus
1 red pepper
1 tbs olive oil
trim the asparagus and slice the peppers (it's prettier if you leave them in rounds, but whatever works)
brush with olive oil and grill
