Dinner tonight

I finally made some things from the Cooking Light magazine. I had planned to make steak this weekend, but of course we ended up going out one night and didn't really do dinner the other night (an all-afternoon party with great food and I didn't need to eat).

I had planned to make the flank steak they had in the magazine, but it worked out that the New York Strip was a better price and there wasn't as much in the package. I try to keep our meat portions small and cook more vegetables.

I made garlic mashed potatoes and butter roasted carrots to go along with it. I have to say that this dinner was a winner. The kids gobbled up the carrots AND the mashed potatoes (even WITH the garlic mixed in)! I had it all cooked up and ready in about 20 minutes.

I still have zucchini I need to cook up before it gets too old...sounds like squash-rice casserole and pork chops tomorrow!
