9 cloves minced garlic
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
9 tablespoons which equals 1/2 cup of lemon juice 3 tablespoons Olive oil 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
4 and 1/2 tablespoons dried a oregano
3 tsp salt black pepper to taste

This will go well with most dishes.

With summer approaching, I am glad I found the no-churn ice cream recipes from Cooks Country. You make it in a blender, then freeze it. Easy Peasy. They are so good. You can check out the Cooks Country cookbook from the library to get the recipe. Or if you want I can send a .pdf of the page.

I cook two tri tip roasts in my slow cooker with French dip and jar of peppercinie banana sliced mild peppers. I use it to make sliders for a crowd. Not spicy. Cook until pull apart with fork. I have used cheapest roast I could find and turned out great.

I feel like a few years you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing about stupid kale, a leafy green I had never even heard of until my early twenties. I don’t care if it’s the healthiest thing since sliced bread, it tastes awful and is VERY overrated. I only eat it if it’s mixed in soups or mixed in risottos or other dishes where it isn’t the main ingredient. You can’t trick me into eating it in a salad, it’s not going to happen.

Fun article! I don’t cook steaks so I have no opinion on the right way to cook one but I’m sure people have Many Opinions.

Make sure it’s sat out, don’t cook straight from fridge. Heat grapeseed oil in cast iron pan until it starts to shimmer (I actually use a comal, don’t have a skillet). Salt the steak and drop it in. Slightly reduce heat, don’t touch for 6 minutes. Remove with tongs – no fork! – and raise temp to heat the oil again. Drop steak in on other side for 3 minutes. Medium-rare.
