SP cooked the steaks perfectly, nice and charred on the outside and rare in the middle:
I don't eat a ton of red meat but there is something so satisfying about cutting into a well-cooked steak and eating that first juicy bite.

Grilling
On one of many gorgeous days we had in April we decided to grill some steaks. My supermarket was having a deal on fresh mozzarella so I bought a few tomatoes, some basil and the mozzarella for caprese salad:

Bridal Shower
One of my dearest friends from college got married earlier this month, but way back in March I went down to Baltimore for her bridal shower/bachelorette party weekend. It was a ton of fun and I'm so happy for M & S.
M's bridesmaids really outdid themselves with the food. Here's the spread looking quite inviting:
It wouldn't be a party in Baltimore without crab dip:
A party favorite, spinach dip with pumpernickel bread:
A delicious pasta salad:
Yummy sandwiches and wraps:
Fresh fruit (I couldn't get enough of the pineapple):
Bean dip that was out of this world amazing, made by the mom of one of the bridesmaids:
Cookies in the shape of some of M's favorite Balitmore things:
The only food I managed to photograph from the bachelorette party was the crab pretzel at our first stop. This was so amazing I want to go back to Baltimore just to have another one all to myself. It's a huge soft pretzel topped with luscious, creamy crab dip and cheese, then broiled:
Wow, that it good!

Meatloaf Muffins
Meatloaf muffins are one of my favorite ways to cook meatloaf. Everything is already portioned out and it only takes 30 minutes to cook.
For these I added salsa and breadcrumbs to the meatloaf mix, then topped each muffin with ketchup. Mashed potatoes and corn rounded out the meal.

Return to Blogging
Man...where did the time go? My last post was April 2? I'm sorry about that. What can I say except work has been crazy, things with Baby Girl have been crazy and life just keeps getting in the way. I even (gasp) stopped taking photos of meals because I didn't know when I'd get around to blogging about them.
The good news is I have a ton of pictures and Blogger has this nifty feature where I can write all my posts at once and have one publish each day. So stay tuned...
