Nice beef tenderloin steaks with steamed veggies this evening – good stuff!

We’re in Wickenburg today, so we barbecued up a couple of beef tenderloin steaks for dinner. Verna microwaved up some broccoli and cauliflower on the side.

UPDATE: We bought a small package of boneless pork tenderloin chops. I grilled them and they were served with steamed cauliflower, broccoli and carrots with applesauce on the side.

Wednesday picnic – Grilled chicken in the park.

We’re on the road again and we will have some good stuff here soon . . .

First Update: BBQ Tenderloin Steak with Cesar Salad – outstanding home made meal on the road.

Second Update: Steak Salad – no photo available – picture the two items above served in one bowl with tomatoes and avocado and the steak cut into small pieces. 🙂

One large beef rib roast needs to be let out of the freezer.

White turkey crock pot chili is another good choice.

Saturday: White turkey chili and Tex-Mex cornbread . . .

Bonus meal: Poached eggs and ham over rye toast with asparagus spears topped with Irish cheddar . . . 😉

Easter Sunday Dinner: Roast beef, potatoes and gravy served with celery and carrots cooked in the crock pot with the roast and potatoes. The green veggies are steamed asparagus and broccoli.

Reserved for special food on our trip to JTNP.

Wednesday Dinner: Grilled beef tenderloin steaks with Verna’s special tossed tomato and Romaine salad.

Thursday Dinner: Leftover tenderloin steak served in a salad with chilled hearts of romaine.

We were camping in Tuscon at an RV park. We bought a couple of New York strip steaks at a local supermarket and cooked them on the portable BBQ grill. Delicious!

Today, we slow-cooked everything you see in the crock pot: beef tenderloin roast, baby carrots, red potatoes, celery and Verna’s killer gravy. Yum!
