The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Pepper Steak Fast and Easy!

I found this recipe just a Hurricane Irene about to pound the east coast.  I quickly started to make it in fear we would loose power for days.  I then realized is was for the slow cooker, but I didn't have that kind of time.  So, I made it on the stove and let it simmer for just a little bit and it turned out very good!  I'm thinking I'll have to go through my other slow cooker recipes that I shy away from during the week and see what else I can do with them!  Another time saving trick!

From Gooseberry Patch Harvest Kitchen:

1lb beef sirloin, cut into bite size pieces
