Bison Sirloin & Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Glazed Carrots, Green Beans, and...

Today's Menu: Bison Sirloin & Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Glazed Carrots, Green Beans, and Whole Grain Bread



Spent the day cleaning, defragmenting, deleting files on the computer most of the day and was ready to get back doing what I enjoy most, Cooking! So for dinner I had a 6 oz. Bison Sirloin that I seasoned with McCormick Grinder Steakhouse Seasoning and pan fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 4 minutes per side, medium rare. i just love the taste of Bison Meat! Whether your grilling it, frying it, or any other way of preparation it just can't be beat and healthier than other cuts of meat. Anyway I topped the Sirloin with Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms that was sauteed in I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Parsley, Ground Smoked Cumin, and Mince Garlic.

Tried a new side tonight from the Pillsbury web site, Honey-Mustard Glazed Carrots. Another keeper recipe here! The Honey and Dijon Mustard are a great combo that makes the Carrots just explode with flavor. It's only 80 calories and 13 carbs. I left the recipe and a link to the Pillsbury web site at the end of the post. Along with the Carrots I had Green Beans and a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
