Spring Steak!

It’s the first day of spring! This day makes me so happy every year.

It signals warmer weather ahead and that makes me utterly giddy.

And in honor of the spring season, just last week, we took a spring break trip with the kids to the Bahamas. They were off school for a week.  We’ve never done such a thing before and we didn’t know what to expect.

We usually travel to such exotic locales as:  Oklahoma City, Houston and Pearl, Mississippi. Don’t get me wrong, we have mad love for all those places – but let’s just say they aren’t featured on the Travel Channel very often.

We had been saving up for quite a while and when the day finally came for us to leave on our big trip, we were anxious, excited and thrilled.

While there, my husband and I decided we couldn’t leave without sampling a Bahamian steak. It had to happen.

What you see above is a Bahamian Kansas City strip steak. Medium.

Exquisite.

THIS made the trip even more memorable. And it proved to us that a quality steak is a quality steak no matter where you go in the world.

It all starts with a great cut of beef. If you don’t have that, it’s over.

Thank goodness this was incredible. They know how to do steak right on the island!

What an amazing way to welcome spring!!!

Spring Break Steak Salad

Steak Salad

Are you on Spring Break this week? Next week? Last week? Never?

Yeah, growing up stinks sometimes. I miss the days of just lollygagging around for a week and rejuvenating for, well, school.

It was rough.

Now, that I have two rugrats, THEY are on Spring Break. And you know what that means for me?

More work.

Entertaining. Dazzling them with my wit and knowledge. Playing games . . . 24/7.

To rejuvenate myself this Spring Break, I plan to make this yummy, springy Spring Break Steak Salad.

It propels my mind to sunny days ahead — and the day when school will be back in session.
