Hi there Happy Fall and Happy Friday! It's been the most gorgeous start to fall here in Wisconsin. The leaves are starting to change but it's felt more like summer This weekend
it's going to be gorgeous with temperatures in the 70's! I can't wait! We have a weekend with zero plans! Gotta love weekends like that!
I know
fall normally means chili and comfort food, but with this weather we're having I'm grilling this weekend! On the weekends when we are home, I like to make a special dinner for a date night in. This weekend why not do surf and turf. It's so much cheaper to make seafood and steak at home! My Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is to die for! It's so easy! Just 4 ingredients! It's a great appetizer or serve these as the main course! Just make these! They are AMAZING! Click Appetizers for more recipes that will really get the party started!
Now
for the turf. I'm a steak girl! I love a good steak on the grill! My Ginger Soy Flank Steak is my FAVORITE! The marinade
makes this so yummy! It's great for any kind of steak! Click Dinner for more great recipes your family will
love!
When
I'm having a steak dinner, I gotta have a wedge salad like you get at a fancy steakhouse. The tomatoes are still fabulous right now! I can't wait to go to the farmers market to get more this weekend! Use those end of summer garden fresh tomatoes to make my Wonderful Wedge Salad loaded with tomatoes, bacon and a wedge of crisp iceberg or romaine lettuce. I like lots of crumbled bleu cheese on top and freshly ground black pepper too. I'm getting excited just thinking about this dinner! Click Salads for more great fall salad recipes.
Speaking of bleu cheese, I'm a HUGE fan of homemade bleu cheese dressing! My Best Bleu Cheese Dressing is CRAZY GOOD! I really do think it's the best ever! It makes a great dip for wings and veggies too!
If
you're grillin' this weekend, why not keep it all outside! You can make my Fancy Baked Potatoes in the oven or on the grill!
Sometimes I load them with cheese and bacon! I love them with sour cream! Gotta have sour cream with my baked potato! Click Sides Dish for more of my favorites sides.
For
Dessert I'm finally ready for pumpkin spice. Bring it on! My Pumpkin Bars are a fall favorite. Why not throw on an apron and bake some this
weekend! Click Desserts for more sweet treats.
