Steak Burrito

Steak Burritos

I love a manly beefy burritos. I especially love Steak Burritos. They have a different sort of bite versus a traditional burritos made with hamburger or chicken. What to do with leftover steak? Make Steak Burritos. Brilliant right? I have been off and on the Paleo diet and really fell off while making these burritos with a white flour tortilla. It happens, I try to eat as healthy as possible but when I reached into the refrigerator for tortillas the high fiber wheat tortillas were not available.

We eat Mexican at least twice a week.  The thing we love about Mexican is how nutritious you can make your meals.  Again, try using a high fiber tortilla that is 100% wheat.

Since I am just getting the hang of this blogging thing I forgot to take pictures of the steak itself. My wife (April) reminded me how pictures draw you into the post. Tonight I am preparing meatballs and am excited to take photos.

Lasagna Soup

 

This weekend we worked on the house a bit more and had a great weekend checking out the shopping and restaurants in the area.  We stopped off Saturday around 1:00pm for a little happy hour drinks and appetizers.  It is so hard for me to spend money out on eats when I love to cook myself.  I have no problem spending money on a beer or seventeen but food is another story.  I made skinny lasagna on Friday and decided to make a leftover soup on Saturday.    Dave and I can never finish a big batch of pasta so soup is really a great alternative to tossing it out or freezing it….
