These past few weeks have been crazy. Between being out of town every weekend for the past month, to seriously overcommitting myself on several blog projects, to general insanity at the office, I feel like I’ve barely had time to catch a breath, let alone plan a menu or go grocery shopping. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I love being busy and everything has been 100% worth it. But I’m exhausted and I haven’t really felt like cooking. But a girl can only eat so much takeout before she starts to feel sick, and I knew that, despite the fact that I felt like collapsing onto the couch and not getting up until bed, it was time to cook a real dinner.
I came up with this porcini dusted steak with red wine sauce and a summer-y green bean, corn, and tomato salad on a whim, and I couldn’t have been happier with it. The steak was rich and flavorful, with a perfect crust of powdered mushrooms. The salad was light and fresh, featuring some of the best that August has to offer. And the whole thing was on the table in under 15 minutes. Which meant I could get back to the couch and put my feet up in half the time it would have taken to get a pizza delivered.

12/25 at 6:03 pmyou do not need to have unpaid balances, but use the card every now and then
and pay it off quickly. This and other similar things will cause your
credit score to be calculated much lower than it really should
be. So the a lot more credit card debt you shell out off, the wider that gap and
the much better your credit score score.

Eliana says
08/19 at 9:44 amIt looks absolutely perfect. I seriously can’t believe this only took 15 minutes. I’ll keep this one on the back burner the next time I’m feeling lazy and want something delicious to eat.

I love the idea of powdering the mushrooms and using the as a rub…fantastic meal.

08/18 at 10:55 pmWhat a novel way to use dried mushrooms. I bet they added great flavor. You sound like a busy gal, but what a fantastic meal you put together!
