Vietnamese Pork Chops
Day 31 – All of this shelter-in-place is starting to feel, well, normal. Some days it seems like this is the way it has always been and always will be. And other days it seems like this has just been a horrible dream. Today is a good day for me. I am beginning to see…

Steak and Baked Potatoes
So in accessing our meals over the last few weeks I saw that we were lacking in red meat. We eat lots of ground turkey, chicken and pork but love our steak every once in a while. I marinated a flank steak in Italian Good Seasonings dressing for a couple of hours and then cut…
