I’m so excited to share a truly delicious, dare I say “romantic” recipe with you today! Not only is this a festive one, but it’s a really easy and tasty dinner that’s sure to please all those “meat lovers” out there – minute steaks marinated in red wine, served with steamed broccoli and a savory sauce made of extra-virgin olive oil, garlic and chili flakes.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, seriously! :) I guess it’s Malbec the one to blame … or better the international fair for wine and spirits … :)

What’s Malbec and why I am loving it???…

Avocado Millet Salad with Minute Steaks

February 3, 2015 by Cris 5 Comments

This savory bowl combines beautifully the minute steaks, avocado, and cherry tomatoes with millet and makes for a perfect light dinner!

Have you tried millet yet? I know that millet is not the most common type of seed crop you’re expecting on your table for dinner, but I assure you that in combination with those ingredients (minute steaks, avocado, and cherry tomatoes) it’s just downright delicious.

What makes it special is the combination of a precious few high-quality ingredients. Strangely enough, I chose millet as the base—millet, one of the healthiest grains that, until last week, I had absolutely no idea how it tastes – so creamy and fluffy. Now, paired with creamy avocado and the concentrated sweetness of cherry tomatoes, it gets mellowed. Great so far….

Beef Wok Noodles

I love chinese food and, therefore, I have been trying hundreds of chinese restaurants until this point in my life. You see, I have this crazy habit that whenever I visit a new place/culture, I like to try out couple of things. One of them is a chinese restaurant. I really enjoyed trying them all, until one day when something must have happened once I changed my food habits.

You see, this food that once I enjoyed every single bite of it, turned itself into a heavy and hard to digest bite. Then why to keep on going, spend money and having to put up with stomach issues? Don’t imagine that I am no longer dining out, I still do it but choosing carefully where I go. For instance, I will not give up having a good authentic pizza once in a while at my favorite trattoria in town.
