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.

Pasta with Garlic Roasted Broccoli and new recipes

I love pasta with a simple sauce made from broth or olive oil and some added seasonings. This recipe for pasta with garlic roasted broccoli was really good and I would definitely make it again. There are walnuts in here, which I thought added a wonderful dimension, but if you have a nut allergy simply omit them. I give this 4.5 out of 5 simply because I felt it was lacking a little on flavor and needed salt added. After the salt it was perfect :)

Cucumber Salad recipe review and new recipes

This is a nice, easy cucumber salad recipe. Simple to prepare and very tasty. I used rice vinegar in place of red wine vinegar, but you could use several different types according to your tastes. Balsamic would work nicely with this as well. I prefer the mild taste of rice vinegar. I give this 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.
