Apple Pie Oatmeal!

I have returned with another culinary experience that is sure to please! I also apologize for the length from my last post, being a busy college student makes cooking different things a little difficult. But never fear, for I am here!

Here's what you'll need:

• Oatmeal
• An Apple
• 1 Tbls Brown Sugar
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Tsp Sugar
• A dash of salt
• 1 Tsp oil.

First; boil water for the oatmeal. Next peel the entire apple and cut into small, bite pieces. Once you have finished cutting the apple; put the oil, sugars, salt, apple pieces, and cinnamon into a small pan over a medium heat. Coat apple pieces with the sugar concoction. Cover the pan and stir occasionally - until the apples are tender. Once tender serve over the oatmeal and enjoy!

Steak Salad

This might just be the best Steak Salad you will ever have...YUMMO!!

Start this recipe earlier in the day or the night before by marinating the steak. The marinade is what makes this salad!

Marinade:

• 1/4 cup Light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
• Fresh Lemon Juice

What you will need:

• London Broil (or your favorite cut)
• Romaine Lettuce
• Corn
• Carrot
• 1/4 cup crumbled Goat Cheese
• Craisins
• Half bulb of Red Onion
• Half of a Granny Smith Apple

Make It:

As mentioned before, marinate the steak overnight. 

I don't have a grill because I live in an outdoor-less grill hating apartment. So I cook this on the stove in a frying pan. You can broil this too.

Heat your pan with a teaspoon of oil. Let the pan get hot and then add the marinated steak. We want the steak to sear and crisp up on both sides. It will hold in the moisture and be nice and juicy.

Cook approximately 5 minutes on each side on high heat. After both sides sear, lower heat to medium and cook approximately 10 more minutes on each side, depending on size and preference.

In a smaller pan, heat a teaspoon of oil and add your sliced red onion. I don't add any salt or seasoning, because there is enough in the steak marinade. Saute the onion until they become translucent. 

Slice up your cold veggies, plate them, and keep it on the side. When onions are done, add to the top of your salad. 

When the steak is done slice it nicely and lay on top of your lettuce and veggies and then top with crumbled goat cheese. 

And there you have it. Enjoy your healthy, inexpensive, delicious steak salad.

I'll get better at the picture taking eventually...
