Recipe Share: Grilled Filet Mignon with a Tomato, Olive, and Onion Salad and Grilled Corn on the Cob.

This is another recipe I love from the Jillian Michaels' Body Shred nutrition program. I've done 2 rounds of Body Shred now, and I love it. I tweaked her recipe a bit (mostly by adding some reduced fat blue cheese to my steak and by eating grilled corn on the cob with it.)
Ingredients:
4 4 oz. filet mignon or sirloin steaks
fresh ground pepper
4 cups baby spinach, cleaned and dry
4 plum tomatoes, cut into 8ths
16 black Greek olives, roughly chopped (I used Kalamata)
1 red onion, sliced thin
8 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
4-6 tsp. balsamic vinegar
4 Tbsp. reduced fat blue cheese
4 corn on the cob
butter
salt and pepper

 Directions:
Season the steaks with pepper and any other herb of choice. (I used kosher salt on mine.) Broil or grill steaks on medium high, on each side, until desired doneness is achieved. I cooked mine about 4 minutes per side, because I like mine to not be totally pink in the center. Put husked corn directly onto grill grates. Grill for 10-12 minutes turning a bit every few minutes until corn looks a bit browned and kernels are plump. Salt and pepper your corn and add butter if desired. Divide spinach among 4 plates. Make tomato salad by tossing together the tomatoes, olives, onions, oil and vinegar. Serve the steak on top of spinach and aside the tomato salad and corn. Enjoy!

Teacher Appreciation Gifts. By color.

With teacher appreciation happening this week, I knew I wanted to do something nice for my 3 kids' teachers. I fell back on my usual gift ideas, and did a combination of chocolate, gum, and goodies from Bath & Body Works. All women like those things, yes? And, yes, I'm kind of a color coordinating freak. I love things to match, so I first chose 3 chocolates at Target and then went to their dollar section and found a few things that matched the chocolates.  How cute are these pink and white thumb tacks? The little sticky notes are a very light shade of blue that I thought worked with the turquoise. And I loved the purple pencils and purple paper clips, too.  I made sure to get 5 small things for each teacher. Bath and Body Works always has cute little sanitizers, sprays, and lotions.   The white scalloped edge tins I found at Target in their party section with all the wedding stuff.  Luckily I had filler leftover from Easter, and I always have tissue p

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of trial and err

Recipe Share: Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats

My sister introduced me to this delicious Nancy Fuller recipe . It was so tasty and pretty quick to throw together. I made a few tweaks to it, but mostly followed the recipe.  Ingredients :  4 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise 1 Tbsp. olive oil 8 ounces sweet loose Italian sausage 8 ounces hot loose Italian sausage (I used 16 oz. of all sweet Italian sausage and squeezed it out of the links, since that's the only kind I could find.) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 small onion, chopped 2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped (I just used about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 C. Parmesan, finely grated 1/2 C. mozzarella, shaved 1/4 C. breadcrumbs (I used Italian seasoned panko breadcrumbs) 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (I prefer flat leaf parsley) Directions : Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  With a teaspoon, scoop out the flesh from the inside of the zucchini, so they look like boats. Place the boats in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Chop the zucchini f
