Sunday Night Dinner - No Recipe

Skillet Grilled Ribeye with Garlic Herb Butter

Pan Fried Potatoes

Cook. Eat. Repeat.

For the Beginner

There is a difference between this:

And this:

The first one is a dry measuring cup; the second, a liquid measuring cup. Most things dry that need measuring, use measuring cups with a round opening.  The measuring cup with a spout, for wet ingredients.  The different measuring cups are important when precision measurements are key

Dry measuring cups are meant to be filled right up to the top and then leveled off with a straight edge of some sort. Liquid measuring cups are made to be filled to the gradations on the side of the cup (1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 6 oz, etc.) rather than being filled right up to the top.

I'm Still Here

Hey y'all!


I am still around


Entire house was sick with a nasty stomach virus for a week...we each took turns being gross.


Last week we did a lot of school preparation


This week first week of 3rd grade for Babe! iDie! My sweetie is growing up so fast


I have been cooking just no time to sort through pictures, write a proper post and actually put it up


Don't you hate when you can't wait to try a recipe and when you do it is a smoking hot mess?????  My first comment upon tasting it was that it was too Cool Whippy....yet there was no cool whip in it (I hate that stuff).  So that "tart" has been placed in my Recipe Fail File.  Oh the high expectations I had for that tart.


The browned butter crust wasn't even good!  Like how can you screw up anything with browned butter???


I had a browned butter pound cake fail a while ago.  That cake was dry as hell!  I wanted that cake to be great.  I hated it so much...so so much *sigh*


I did make A Weeknight Winner meal that I will share later: Fresh Cheese Filled Tortellini, Italian Sausage, Roasted Red Pepper and a cream sauce you make with the pasta water and a splash of cream.


Oh and this yogurt marinated chicken was soooooo yummy


We had shrimp and grits for dinner last night.  I will post that later too.


See I have been cooking...just not posting! lol


Have a great week!

Five of my favorite kitchen tools:

2. High Heat Rubber Spatulas
3. Various sized whisks
4. Avocado slicer (I eat lots of avocado and this is heaven!)
5. Citrus juicer

What are five of your favorite kitchen tools? Have a happy weekend!
