Onion and Parmesean Cheese Sauce

A long time ago I got a delicious recipe from a great friend. 

That recipe is called "Stuffed Flank Steak."

Whenever we have this fabulous meal, we always think about our friends, Eric and Peggy . . .
 . . . and we usually laugh over some long-lost memory!  Both the steak and the friends are great.

The other day, I was going to make her recipe.  But when I opened the flank steak, I realized it was to thin to stuff.

What a bummer!

So, I decided to use some of the ingredients to make a sauce . . .kind of like smothered steak rather than stuffed.

It was equally delicious!  My girl cherub, who could really be a vegetarian, ate 2 pieces of the meat!  She's even asked for this dinner for her birthday . . .in JANUARY!!! 

So if the self-proclaimed vegetarian ate the meat -- it must be good!

Onion and Parmesan Cheese Sauce

1 onion, sliced
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 Parmesan cheese*

Slice the onions -- not to thin and not to thick.  Just a regular slice.
Place the butter in a skillet and melt.  Add the onions and cook over medium to medium high heat; stirring occasionally, allowing the onions to cook and turn a beautiful caramel color.



Reduce heat to medium low and pour in the cream.  Stir, allowing the cream to reduce and take on some of the yummy caramel color.  Continue stirring while the cream thickens a bit by reduction.

Stir in the 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
**Your favorite white or blue cheese will work here:  blue cheese, provolone, Parmesan, etc.

Pour over your steak that's been marinated in Dale's marinade and grilled to a perfect medium (using your meat thermometer, of course!).  This stuff is so good, you'll be scraping the pan and licking your fingers!

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! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

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!  Especial
