The Learning Curve(s):
*Mini Meatloaves...I saw this RECIPE online and was curious about it--it had rave reviews but simple ingredients. It almost seemed too simple to be edible. I mixed up the ingredients and it was pretty milky...but I went ahead and put the "meatloaves" in the oven and they turned out DELICIOUS! The sauce was incredible--who knew that ketchup, mustard and brown sugar would be such a great combo?! Thankfully, I was brave enough to double the recipe so we'll have a batch of meatloaves already prepared for another meal.
*Asian Flat Iron Steak...this RECIPE was originally created by Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman. The marinade reminded me a lot of my mom's go-to marinade for steak but the use of Sesame Oil (yummmmmmmmmm) intrigued me. It turned out really well--but I think it would have had even more flavor had we decided to brave the "elements" and grill the steak...rather than pan fry it. However, the marinade was a great match for our Asian-inspired sides!
