Cube steaks are nothing more than a fancy name for tenderized round steaks, which come from the "round" (posterior) of the animal and are known for being a bit tougher than the rib and loin cuts.

Chunky Sausage Tomato Soup
First off, I want to apologize - I experienced some odd camera malfunctioning (probably user error) last week and ended up losing the "in process" photos of about three or four different recipes. I still managed to get pictures of the finished dish (or the leftovers when I had them for lunch the next day) … Continue reading Chunky Sausage Tomato Soup
Carrot Beet Slaw
Alternate Title: The Recipe That Made Me Like Beets I will be the first to admit that I have never been a fan of beets.

We also grew them in our garden, and … Continue reading Carrot Beet Slaw

Ginger Carrots and Turnips
It's hard to believe that I went from never having a turnip before to having them three weeks in a row in our CSA share! After trying creamed greens and then simply grilling the turnips last week, I thought it would be good to do something different this time. So I combined them with some … Continue reading Ginger Carrots and Turnips
Lime Curry Sirloin Steaks
Here is another simple wet rub grill recipe, which happens to complement yesterday's curry ginger butternut squash quite nicely. I carried over the cilantro and ginger from the squash recipe, but decided to use Thai red curry paste (and some ground coriander) for a little departure from the Indian curry powder used for the squash. … Continue reading Lime Curry Sirloin Steaks

And despite the … Continue reading Jerk Short Ribs
