Coffee Crusted Steak

This was my Mother's Day lunch.

I say "my" because we each had different stuff.

It was like being at a restaurant but it was at home.

It was so fun!

On Saturday, we went to one of our favorite grocery stores . . .

yes, we have a "favorite" grocery store!

We decided to have corn on the cob, a salad, and gluten-free cornbread.

Then, we headed to the meat market and we all picked out whatever kind of meat/fish/chicken we wanted to grill.

I picked a filet.

I never pick a filet.

Ever.

But it just looked good!

It's amazing that fresh, red, uncooked meat can look good!

I asked for the smallest cut, because I'm not a steak eater.

At lunch, I was so sad I hadn't asked for a bigger steak.

It was perfection!

Pure perfection!

Matter of fact, it was the hit of the lunch table.

The Mr. and the cherubs were so envious of my creation!
I love being a mother!

Coffee-Crusted Steak

1 favorite cut of steak
Sea Salt
Fresh ground pepper
Coffee grounds (I used decaf, Texas pecan . . .my favorite)

Preheat grill.

In a shallow dish, I put about equal amounts of salt, pepper, and coffee. Stir to mix.

Using your hands, firmly press every inch of the steak into the seasoning mixture: top, bottom, and sides.

Place steak on the grill and cook to desired doneness. Turning as few times as possible.

Allow steak to rest before cutting.

Enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK. Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity. It is a wonderful experience! And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant. It's delish! So back to the casserole. After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe! The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret! It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr. Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure! When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy! ...
