Which means I have very little to offer for fun this week!
BUT...
Having said that, into each life some rain must fall, so I'm hoping next week will be better. But there is this I'm sharing, done with cube steaks....
And it's like an old-fashioned diner meal!
First, I pounded out the cube steaks slightly.... and cut them into smaller pieces. And I sliced up a big, sweet onion... Beef and onions? Yes!
Then I shook the steaks in a simple flour/salt/pepper/garlic powder blend to coat them.
Heat a large frying pan with olive oil, not too much.... Just cover the bottom, plus a little! :)
Set the cube steaks into the heated oil. Brown on both sides... Set into big roaster or broiler pan when done... and do the rest of the cube steaks (Yes, we were feeding a crowd...)
When done, add water to the drippings... stir and heat... pour over the pan of steak and onions.
Cover and heat in oven at 300 degrees for about an hour, until fork tender.
Now you can thicken the broth, or serve it just like this. Great with pasta or a side of potatoes, or just on its own for a high-protein, low-carb choice!
And then this is farm life in winter in Western New York.... Snowblowing after a foot of overnight snow last week....
A kitten in a nest....
Sunrise through the trees from my kitchen window! The winter sunrises are often alive with color because of the hovering cloud banks...
Isn't that so fun?????
So that's how life is going up here... other than being sick, we're blessed to be warm. Snug. Fed!!!
Counting our blessings!
