Crowd Pleasing Chili (Slow Cooker, or not)

For some reason I always associate the Super Bowl with a bunch of junk food and a pot of chili. Since we're all quite capable of finding our own junk food, and I'm anxious to try more things in the slow cooker, I thought I'd try a simple chili. This is mild enough for everyone yet full of flavor, I'll go ahead and call it a home run.

Marinated Flank Steak Tacos

We just got done with our first, and potentially only, snow for the winter and my brilliant daughter thought it was time for a taste of summer. Marinated flank steak with grilled onions and bell peppers with a simple corn salsa and some whole grain tortillas.

Killer Burgers

You can live believing that a burger is a burger, but it's only going to leave you sad and lonely. That's not a threat, it's a fact. But don't despair, I'm here to help. And as always, you'll be a hero with a minimal amount of work. Win.

Beef on Weck

 Unless you're from New York, or specifically western New York you've probably never heard of Kummelweck bread.  I know I hadn't.  One of my housemates is from Buffalo, and a little while back she was on a mission to find one of these sandwiches.  It never happened so I started doing my homework, and I'm so happy I did!  This is an amazing sandwich, so delicious!!

Roast Beef With Red Wine Au Jus

The Garlic Horseradish Crust is Amazing!

I've never made roast beef before.  Don't get my wrong I've had my share, and I always enjoy it, but it just never occurred to me to make it myself.  This is a lovely dish, it's full of flavor, and would be great with some steamed vegetables or potatoes.  My inspiration for making this was the Beef on Weck sandwich so if you're not making this for that reason I highly recommend making enough for leftovers so you can try that as well.  The Au Jus is mandatory if you're going to make the sandwich, otherwise it's just highly recommended.
