Recipe Share: Grilled Filet Mignon with a Tomato, Olive, and Onion Salad and Grilled Corn on the Cob.

This is another recipe I love from the Jillian Michaels' Body Shred nutrition program. I've done 2 rounds of Body Shred now, and I love it. I tweaked her recipe a bit (mostly by adding some reduced fat blue cheese to my steak and by eating grilled corn on the cob with it.)
Ingredients:
4 4 oz. filet mignon or sirloin steaks
fresh ground pepper
4 cups baby spinach, cleaned and dry
4 plum tomatoes, cut into 8ths
16 black Greek olives, roughly chopped (I used Kalamata)
1 red onion, sliced thin
8 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
4-6 tsp. balsamic vinegar
4 Tbsp. reduced fat blue cheese
4 corn on the cob
butter
salt and pepper

Directions:
Season the steaks with pepper and any other herb of choice. (I used kosher salt on mine.) Broil or grill steaks on medium high, on each side, until desired doneness is achieved. I cooked mine about 4 minutes per side, because I like mine to not be totally pink in the center. Put husked corn directly onto grill grates. Grill for 10-12 minutes turning a bit every few minutes until corn looks a bit browned and kernels are plump. Salt and pepper your corn and add butter if desired. Divide spinach among 4 plates. Make tomato salad by tossing together the tomatoes, olives, onions, oil and vinegar. Serve the steak on top of spinach and aside the tomato salad and corn. Enjoy!

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of ...

Father's Day Gift Ideas.

Father's Day is coming up!  We love our Jason, and we like to surprise him with special gifts.  I wanted to share a few things my kids and I have loved doing for Jason. These Pinhole Press board books are so adorable and easy to do. The kids love looking at them, and Jase cried when he first saw them. They made his day! Making a slideshow for your special guy is also a great idea! We made one for Jason a few years ago, and it was so special and fun. There are many different sites you can use to do that. One that I've used recently is Smile box . It does cost money to use, so be aware of that. You can also use free sites or simply make one using google slides or iMovie. Etsy has some great gifts for Dads.  Look at this awesome tee set for a Dad and child. So cute! I love this modern watch/jewelry stand . So manly and clean looking. This docking station is equally awesome. For the Dad who enjoys cooking, you could get him one of these personalized cutting boards . Love ...
