Food Galore: Ribeye Steak Dinner

I enjoy going out to eat, but it adds up quickly. Eating out can also be unhealthy. Once in a while, we treat ourselves to a nice home-cooked steak dinner. We get our steak from Costo because they have affordable quality steak. Our favorite is New York Ribeye ($30 for four pieces). It's thick, juicy, and tender! I pan seared it on medium-high heat until it is 60% cooked before turning off the heat and let the steak sit in the pan. I made steamed broccoli and home-fries for sides. The total cook time only took about 35 minutes! I always try to cook at home because it saves us money and the ingredients I use are healthy. It's a great way to stay in shape for the summer.

The other day, I made a quick spaghetti lunch. I like to add my own mix into the sauce to make it more hearty. I used Organic Ragu Pasta Sauce and threw in ground turkey with chopped garlic. Obviously, I can't go without eating vegetables, so I sauteed kale with olive oil. Lastly, I warmed up some Butternut Squash soup from Trader's Joe to finish off the meal. This also took about 35 minutes. 

Minced half a garlic and sauteed until fragrant. Cook ground turkey with garlic until 70% done. Then, add in pasta sauce of choice and bring it to a boil. 

Sauteed minced garlic until fragrant and throw in kale leaves. Stir occasionally until soft. Add a quarter cup of water and cover it until you see steam. Turn off heat and let it sit.
