Steak Stretch-Out

Recently the grocery store had a special on Sirloin Steaks, buy one, get one free.  So Friday night's dinner was steak on the grill, foil-wrapped potato packets and fresh corn on the cob.  (Nothing like just-bought corn on the cob.....summer!)

All four of us had the steak (neither kid would touch the potatoes, and only Sean ate a little corn) and there was some for leftovers.  Last night my mother was over and we were doing Boboli pizzas on the grill.  At first they were just going to be cheese pizzas, until we found the steak.  Oh, and mini peppers in the fridge.  Chopped up peppers and onions, sauteed in butter.  (Not too many things smell as good as that.)  I chopped the entire container, because they were already showing signs of age.    Tomato sauce on the crust, followed by shredded mozzarella, the pepper/onion mix, thin slices of steak, finished with a touch of Colby Jack cheese and some fresh basil from the garden.  Best pizza at home ever!!

This morning, we're doing a quick breakfast so we can spend the rest of the weekend at the cottage.  I had saved some pepper/onion mix for eggs today, and Brian surprised me with yet more steak.  So steak-and-cheese omelettes.  Accomplishment:  awesome food prepared at home, and ingredients used up.  Mission complete!  :)
