Like most adults nowadays, Philip and I both work full time jobs. We both spend 40+ hours at work a week. We both work 8 to 5. Now like most, we come home pretty tired from the daily grind. While we could easily pick up food on the way home, order take out, or just go out to eat, we started cooking, pretty much every single night, as soon as we moved in together. Now don't get me wrong, we still go out to eat probably once or twice a week but we leave those times for the weekend when we can splurge and really enjoy ourselves.
I do my best to plan out meals that don't require a ton of ingredients, a ton of prep time, and a ton of cook time, so we can eat delicious healthy, fresh food, not to long after getting home, on a budget!
I thought I would share some of our meals going forward to show you it's not too hard to cook at night even if you work all day.
On the menu tonight...
Grilled Steak Skewers!
Total Time: About 30 minutes including prep and cooking
You will need the following:
- Beef Tips - I bought this at Target on sale for $4.99! There was so much meat! It's the Angus Beef Stew Meat - Philip seasoned this with some all purpose Mrs. Dash seasoning
- 1 Pineapple
- 1 Red Onion
- Bell Peppers - We used 1 red and 1 yellow and saved the orange for another day
- Wood Skewers - Got these at Target for $2.99
First things first, prep your skewers! We just chopped the fruit and veggies into bite size pieces and assembled them on the skewers. We tried to go Onion, Pepper, Beef, Pineapple, Repeat...
Then we popped them right onto an indoor grill.
We let them cook, and just turned them occasionally until the meat had cooked about medium rare.
We paired this with some Cilantro Lime Poblano Rice that they sell in the freezer section at Target, and you are ready to chow down!
After food had settled, I popped some Gluten-Free, Dairy Free (pre-packaged) cookies into the oven and am about to indulge!!!
XO.
