Gnocchi "mac & cheese" with kale.

I didn't have any fancy cheese, so I just used what was in the fridge. Turned out so yummy. Can't wait to tweak the recipe to my liking.

My "Stuffed" hashbrowns...

I go to a bar before softball on Saturday and they have these amazing stuffed hashbrowns with bacon, green onion, cream cheese and sour cream.  I had some leftover steak from lunch yesterday, always have bacon grease, so I came up with my version. Crispy hashbrowns, cream cheese, steak, green onion, egg, parmesean cheese and sour cream. HEAVEN!!! Now all I need is for my Red Sox to win and it'll be a perfect day. :)

Lunch?

My girl and I decided to grill because she goes to her boyfriend's house on tuesdays.  Good stuff!

Chillin' n Grillin'

My first BBQ'd rib eye on a gas grill in 25ish years.  Yes, I just aged myself.  Balsamic 'shrooms and bacon~garlic taters.  SUCCESS!

I've got plenty of leftover rib eye, 12 oz is too much for me.  Coincidently, I've got half of a BLT from lunch yesterday, so I'm going to make that into a SBLT for late lunch before shopping.  Tomorrow morning will be a steak burrito with the leftover 'shrooms, taters and steak.  NOMS!

Soon...very soon.
