Grilled Cube Steak with Fries

Do you use your grill in the winter? I do, all winter long! I'll admit, I was leery of this grilled cube steak recipe. Cube steak can be a tough cut to prepare, and grilling is not something I ever thought would work well. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor and texture and enjoyed this very much. I still prefer a good country fried steak recipe for using up cube steak, but this was a nice change of pace. I'd give it a 4 out of 5.

Banana Buttermilk Cake review and new recipes

If you like banana bread you'll like this cake too. It's easy, tasty and, well... pretty average. It's good, don't get me wrong, and none of it went to waste, but I prefer a fluffier cake with more spices. That's not to say you couldn't doctor this recipe up! The nice thing about this particular recipe is it's easy and fairly fuss-free.
