Flank steak is so versatile. You can make it to eat on it’s own with vegetables or any side you choose, and it also is wonderful used in fajitas, tacos, or burritos. Last night, I chose to make it served with steamed broccoli and sautéd cherry tomatoes – which also made for a healthy and…

Mexican Lasagne
Are you looking for something tasty to include in your Mexican Monday or Taco Tuesday rotation? I have a recipe that I think will satisfy your tastebuds for either of those nights, or any night, actually.

Sunday Pot Roast
Once a year, I sign up to cook dinner for the priests and seminarians at our church. Last Sunday was that day for me and I decided to cook a pot roast. As the pot roast was cooking and the aroma wafting through the house, I decided that I should really make a pot roast…
Rump Roast
Winter is the perfect season for cooking a roast. We’ve been having quite the chilly and rainy weather in San Diego this week, so decided it would be the perfect day to cook a rump roast. As luck would have it, the sun was actually shining for most of the day, but that’s OK ……

I sprinkled kosher salt, pepper and Chile lime seasoning over both sides of the steak. After that, I squeezed the juice of two limes (making sure to set aside the…
Italian Rump Roast
I spent the first half of this week with my Aunt Sheila and my cousins, Molly and Katie. We had such a wonderful time, as we always do. Aunt Sheila and Molly drove down from Los Angeles on Monday. We met for a wonderful lunch at a local Mexican restaurant and had a fun time…
Beef Top Round Roast Sandwiches
Last night I cooked a boneless beef top round roast. I started out thinking I would make a traditional roast with this meat, but ended up changing my mind and deciding to make sandwiches out of it. It was a great decision! My daughter, Kylie, even asked me to write the recipe in the recipe…
