Holiday grilling

Steak and salad:

Steak Marinade (for 2lbs of meat):
1 packet or 2 T. McCormick GrillMates Montreal Steak
1/4 c. oil -I use EVOO
1/4 c. water
2 T. red wine vinegar

15 minutes of marination will transform a hunk of meat into utter deliciousness. McCormick is well worth the money.

Salad:
head of green leaf or romaine lettuce
2 on the vine tomatoes
1 English cucumber (my MIL is intolerant of the "normal" variety)
Italian vinaigrette

We also served whole grain Italian bread and watermelon.

We introduced V. to tomatoes today. I finely diced half a tomato and put it on a plate while the rest of us ate salad. She not only ate all the pieces, she tried to lick the plate clean!
