Weekend recipes

I love cooking on the weekend. Paul and I are both home, and usually rested, so we take a little extra time in the kitchen to make yummy date night dinners. And on Sunday, the whole crew comes over to make scrumptious feasts after church. The kitchen is hands down my favorite room, what with the red cupboards and coffee pot!, and I love having a kitchen full of people cooking.

I somehow inherited a George Forman thingy from my Granny. It's not a grill precisely, but it has a teflon cooking service that is covered to keep steam in, and is rather deep to keep fluid in. Anyway, we decided to do the steak in Saturday night for our date in. I slathered the steak in olive oil and Italian seasoning, yellow peppers, and onion. I then made a simple brushetta with boxed stuffing, Swiss cheese, and tomatoes which we put on top for the last few minutes of cooking time. Served with corn, it was the best steak I've ever had!

Also tried a Redbook Magazine recipe for lunch today, called The Butcher's Sauce. We amended the recipe a little, added some more sauce in place of the wine, and substituted ground beef for the turkey, and it was fabulous!

Any one have any other weekend favorites?
