It's Here!

It's here!  My new Pioneer Woman cookbook that I pre-ordered from Amazon months ago!  I can't wait to read what delicious recipes Ree has in store.  I really find Ree, her food, and photography absolutely delightful.  I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I really think if given the chance we would be best of friends.  There is something about her story and writing style that clicks with me (and about 2.5 million other people - hence the Food Network show.)  But any ways, it is here!

In honor of Ree's new cookbook release I decided to make a PW favorite, fried round steak or in my household minute steak.  Now I would really like you to believe that I'm so organized that I planned to prepare this meal, but the truth is my plan was to go to Walmart.  And then this happened...

He is so gorgeous, isn't he!  My sweet little one fell asleep in the car on the way home from Grandma's.  They had a super day playing!  And so when I opened the door of the car in the Walmart parking lot, I couldn't bare the thought of putting him into an uncomfortable cart and begging him to be good.  So we went on home, and I prayed we wouldn't run out of TP before the morning.

And so, minute steak was on the menu for the night.  A great use-it-up dish served with whole wheat mac 'n cheese, green beans and fresh strawberries. 

I'd like to think that Ree would have done the same thing!
