Balsamic Rosemary Beef Steak Tips and Mushrooms
Steak tips are actually Flap meat, which is a thin cut of meat that comes from the bottom sirloin butt, similar to flank, hangar or skirt steak. The marinade for these Balsamic Rosemary Beef Steak Tips and Mushrooms is a wonderful combination of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, rosemary, garlic and a touch of sugar, which helps tenderize the meat.

Lamb Chops with Crispy Shallots and Pomegranate Sauce
I made my husband Lamb Chops with Crispy Shallots and Pomegranate Sauce. We were celebrating. I have only made him lamb on one other occasion, which was his birthday. He loves lamb and always orders it when we go out for dinner because he knows I REALLY don't like lamb! Needless to say, he loved it. The Pomegranate sauce is absolutely delicious. I made myself a piece of beef.

Seared Pork Chops with Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms
This Seared Pork Chops with Shiitake and Enoki Mushrooms was a way for me to use up extra mushrooms that were leftover from a Shabu Shabu dinner. The original recipe did not have enoki mushrooms, so you can leave those out if you like.

Steak Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette
So last night, I'm home alone eating a frozen chicken pot pie. I've been sick and have to eat soft food. I had absolutely no idea what I'm going to blog about. I then check my Instagram and see that my daughter Zoe made this for dinner! Excuse me Zoe, but that looks delicious! Both my girls are starting to cook at the advanced level. My daughter Grace made a cheese soufflé the night before. Again, I only know this by checking Instagram. I may be able to retire early!
