From Erika: Grilled Ribeye Steaks
Spring means it’s time to break out the BBQ and I love to grill a great ribeye, my favorite cut of beef. This recipe is super easy and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients:
- 4 ribeye steaks, preferably bone-in
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp. seasoning salt
- 2 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp. fresh ground pepper
- BBQ sauce of your choosing
Directions:
2 to 24 hours prior to grilling, mix equal parts seasoning salt, garlic powder and fresh ground pepper (enough to generously coat the steaks on both sides) in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with Worchestershire sauce, followed by a liberal coating of the seasoning mix. Let marinate 2 to 24 hours.
Take steaks out of refrigerator at least 1 hour prior to grilling to bring them to room temp. Bring grill or coals to medium-high heat. Grill steaks approximately 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Once ribeye is turned after the first 3 minutes, coat the top of the steaks with BBQ sauce. Once cooking is complete, remove from grill and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
From Emily: Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad
I absolutely love strawberries, and one of my favorite ways to eat them is in a salad. This Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad is a delicious side dish for a warm day.
Ingredients:
- 3 Tbsp. sugar
- 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. milk
- 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- Romaine lettuce
- Slightly toasted slivered almonds
- Sliced strawberries
Directions:
Combine sugar, mayonnaise, milk, poppy seeds and vinegar in a small bowl and whisk well to make the dressing. Place lettuce in a large bowl, and add strawberries and almonds. Then pour the dressing over the salad and toss. Enjoy!
From Paige: Springtime Smoothie
Spring means farmers markets, and that means fresh fruits and veggies! I love smoothies, especially when the weather is nice – or even if it’s rainy and you need a pick-me-up! Here is my favorite smoothie recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 organic banana, cut in slices or thirds
- 2 large fresh strawberries, cut in halves
- ½ cup fresh spinach
- 2 Tbsp. flax seed
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (Greek Gods Strawberry & Honey is my favorite!)
- 1 heaping spoonful of creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½- 2 cups 100% orange juice (add more if needed)
Directions:
Put all ingredients into a blender and mix it up (usually about 10-12 seconds for the right consistency). Enjoy!
