Experiments

I had the chance this weekend to experiment twice with meals this weekend. Yesterday morning I was in a dilemma because I had a few things for breakfast but not enough to cook my normal breakfasts. So, I mixed all my ingredients up in a casserole. It turned out pretty decent. There are thing I will change next time but for someone that doesn't experiment I was proud of myself.

Then last night my mom and step dad came over for dinner, for his birthday. I went to the store, bought all of my ingredients for steak and chicken on the grill and came home. Once home I realized that I did not have my normal Italian dressing for marinating the meat. I call my sister, who came to the rescue and offered some suggestions. I ended up marinating the meat in Blue Moon beer. It was a total success. The steaks were tender and juicy. The chicken has a good flavor but was a little over cooked.

All in all I'm excited about the experiments being a success. We'll see what this week brings.
