I don’t consider myself a good cook, but I do like to ensure what I make is tasty. Under the category of making life easier, here are the go to recipes that I make time and time again when I’m entertaining….with doggie bags home!\u00a0 If you’ve been to my house, you’ll recognize some of these….<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The best steak recipe<\/a> ever: what makes this recipe is the dry marinade and the basting…..<\/li>\n
  2. The best potato salad<\/a> ever: everyone loves this…it’s an oldie from the Silver Palate cookbook which was popular in the eighties. I leave out the cucumbers, and I don’t add as many eggs…otherwise, I follow it exactly. Make sure you cook the potatoes enough….12-14 minutes should do it. What makes it is that it has both mayonnaise and<\/strong> an oil and vinegar dressing.<\/li>\n
  3. Roasted vegetable orzo<\/a>: another delicious, simple dish with tons of veggies and a lemon and olive oil dressing.<\/li>\n
  4. Barbecue sauce<\/a> for chicken: I know, not a big deal, but this is made with a whole cup of balsamic vinegar.<\/li>\n
  5. Dessert: tres leches cake.<\/a> This has become the number one ask at my best friend’s house…above all other cakes. The secret to this recipe is that the sweetened condensed milk is microwaved. Ignore the mixing times…don’t overmix!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
