I saw part of a post on Pinterest about cooking steaks not on the grill.  It was really interesting but incomplete as the site wouldn't come up correctly.  It stated to preheat your oven to 500 degrees, cook the steaks in a castiron skillet, and to use fresh steaks from the butcher.  That's it.  Has anyone tried this?  Folks were raving about them cooked this way saying no more steaks on the grill Read more [...]

So what do you recall from your school lunches?  Just ran across this recipe at Pinterest and am sure it needs to be tried...when DH isn't around.  I loved these things if this is the right recipe.  Somewhere I have the one from our school cafeteria that makes a ton, but I had cut down that recipe too.  The other thing I loved was the Shepherd's Pie.  Other kids hated it and would pile it onto Read more [...]
