That's what I love about Sundays

Tonight I made dinner for Jae and I at my apartment. I am happy to report that it was delicious! We ate early, but it was so good that it left us both passed out on the couch, I just woke up and finished cleaning the kitchen.

We started out with my new favorite summertime drink... Sangria and Sprite. (Yes, very Classy!)

For dinner we had sirloin steaks, homemade mashed potatoes, zucchini and purple onions, & caesar salad.

Sirloin Steaks - I marinated the steaks in Roasted Red Pepper Italian Salad Dressing. I added some of Emeril's original grilling spice. We both like our steak medium-rare. Jae did a great job at monitoring the fire and grilling them just right =)

Veggies - I sliced up the zucchini and onions and sauteed them in a large skillet. I seasoned them with light butter and Morton's Natures Seasoning.

Mashed Potatoes - I used 3 large potatoes, this makes more than enough for 2 people, but who doesn't like a few left over potatoes. I boiled them, drained them, then mashed and seasoned them. I use salt initially in the water when boiling them, then when mashing them I like to add a generous amount of light butter, minced garlic, salt, & black pepper. 

It was not a fancy dinner by any means, but it sure was a great way to end the weekend!
