Dinner on Tuesday- Steak Tips anyone?

Today was a good day.  I accomplished much at work, saw a dear friend, and did a lot of packing.  As the days tick on, I'm getting more and more excited about my new school next year, AKA July 5th!  Ahhh, the year round schedule is stressing me a bit, but I'm trying to not focus on that. Everything else about the position is heavenly.

Jon texted me earlier today to tell me that he was working from home, so that meant I was free to wonder a bit.  I loaded up my car, and followed the road that led to Cary's butcher shop called "The Meat House".  This is a little place that I don't go to very often, and consider it a splurge.  While I was there I viewed many different types of meat, and decided to grab not only tonight's dinner, but two other items too!  I'm prepared for this week of cooking.  I didn't get home until a little after 5, then I unloaded my car, FB, and checked paperbackswap.com.  Finally, I was ready to make dinner, but I was also starving!

I started dinner with a piece of dessert.  I enjoyed the very last Cajun Blondie that I had made on Saturday for the book club. It was delicious.  I savored every morsel by cutting off tiny bite size pieces and making that one last piece last for a while.  The recipe is listed below, and if you ever need a yummy easy dessert, this is a keeper! Thanks to my mom that passed the recipe on to me.

 
Cajun Blondies 

Mix by hand and press into a buttered 9" x 13" pan:

 

1 pkg. yellow cake mix (lemon is good too)

1 c. chopped nuts

1 stick butter

1 egg (beaten)

last cajun blondie

 

Mix with electric mixer:

 

2 eggs

8 oz. cream cheese (I used fat free)

1 lb. confectioners sugar

 

Pour on top of pressed mixture.

Bake @ 325 degrees for 60 minutes.

 

Excellent but rich!

Cut in small squares.

yummy dinner roll

While I was enjoying that fantastic flavorful delight, I started the rest of dinner.  I literally pulled three rolls out of the freezer (the straight from the freezer to the oven type) and got them ready on a pan, and slid those babies into the oven.  

good ole stand by

Meanwhile, I had the hubs start the grill.  I opened a can of green beans, and mixed those with some olive oil and vinegar, an old stand by that Kid B enjoys.  

Just placed on the grill

I was finally ready to throw the yummy MARINATED MEAT HOUSE STEAK TIPS on the grill.  The rolls need to bake for 20-25 minutes.  While they were baking, the meat was grilling.  I just checked on everything and it's all just about ready!  Dinner was quick, and easy, and very very delicious!  And, I have enough for lunch tomorrow, another plus.  Off to do some other mommy chores and then maybe, just maybe I'll get to bed a little early so I can read my book.
