Here's some of my recipe tips...
1. I don't really measure. I've figured out what tastes my family likes and I season according to that. What does your family like? Saves a lot of time not getting out measuring spoons... not to mention adding to the dish load.
2. I swear by packaged shredded cheese. Don't get me wrong... I'm a fan of the block stuff too. When you have kids to chase after, the shredded cheese makes it so much easier and quicker to get the job done. I use shredded cheese in just about everything I make for dinner that needs cheese. I love to use the Italian flavors for any pastas, lasagnas or alfredo sauces.
3. I may over do it on the amount of veggies that I make. We love our veggies! I never put a quantity of how many to cook because I know that I make more than another family may. Cook the way your family likes!
*Rosemary Steaks
Your favorite kind of steak {does this deserve a duh?}
Rosemary {either fresh or dried... we've done both}
Black Pepper
Kosher Salt
Season steaks with all 3 seasonings. Sometimes we like to add a bit of chopped garlic or garlic salt. Your call.
Grill steaks to desired doneness. The rosemary is a super great compliment to the meat!
*Garlic Cheesy Mashed Potatoes
Russet Potatoes {however many it takes for you to feed your family with mashed potatoes. We usually do about 8-10 potatoes... we like our taters.}
Garlic Salt
Parsley
Milk
Butter
Italian Shredded Cheese
Boil potatoes until tender enough to mash. Drain water and place back onto warm stove top. Add a bit of milk... not too much or they'll be runny. Add a scoop of butter. Sprinkle with garlic salt to your liking. Add some parsley and a couple of handfuls of shredded cheese. Mash with masher and mix ingredients with potatoes all at the same time. Ta-da! Yummy taters.
*Ranch Flavored Corn on the Cob
Corn on the Cob {however many your family will eat}
Packet of Ranch Dip Mix
Husk corn to get all of the hairy stuff off. Leave enough of the husks to cover the corn. Not completely but give it a good blanket. Wash corn off with water. Using your hand, sprinkle some Ranch onto each cob. Spread it around. We like a little seasoning for flavor, but not a ton. Put Ranch on to your family's liking. Pull husks back up over the corn and get ready to cook! We have tried it on a frying pan on the stove. We turn it every few minutes to get the sides evenly cooked. Turned out fabulous! But it's also really yummy to put on a warm grill and cook that way... lots easier when you have more than 3 cobs to cook too :)
Hope it's super yummy!!
