Today's Menu: "Surf & Turf" Bison Sirloin Steak w/ Jumbo Butterfly Shrimp, Harvest Vegetables, and Whole Grain Bread






Busy, busy, busy!! Spent part of the day at the hospital with my Dad and came home and caught up on all the house cleaning and laundry for my Mom. I've come to the conclusion that they need to make a vacuum cleaner for people in wheelchairs. It's very difficult to run a sweeper in a Hoveround Mobility Chair. Might look into this.


On to dinner! I had Surf and Turf dinner tonight. I used a Wild Idea Buffalo Petite Top Sirloin Steak (5oz.) for my "Turf". I highly recommend Wild Idea Buffalo Products. I love Buffalo or Bison anyway but these Wild Idea Buffalo Steaks are the best. You have your fresh game taste but also almost a sweet taste to the Steak. To prepare it I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I then pan fried it in Canola Oil about 4 minutes per side to a beautiful and juicy medium rare. These Steaks are just so good!


On the "Surf side I used Sea Pak Jumbo Shrimp. Of course fresh Shrimp is better but if your short on time Sea Pak is your Shrimp! Easily prepared; just bake at 425 degrees for 13-14 minutes turning over once after 6 minutes. They came out Golden Brown and delicious. I also had Pictsweet Steam’ables Lightly Sauced Harvest Vegetables w/ Roasted Potatoes and a Garlic Herb Sauce. The Harvest Vegetables has sugar snap peas, carrots and roasted red potatoes in a Light Garlic Herb Sauce. A breeze to fix just microwave for 5 minutes and their done and only 90 calories and 17 carbs! For dessert later a slice of Pillsbury Nut Bread topped with a scoop of Breyer's Carnb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream.

Harvest Vegetables with Roasted Red Potatoes and Herb and Garlic Seasoning
The rustle of leaves, chilly evenings and a good walk in the woods. It’s harvest time, and we’ve brought together sugar snap peas, carrots and robust roasted red potatoes – great vegetables of early fall to steam up for a burst of real stick-to-the-ribs flavor.
