This is a healthier take on fried zucchini. It was pretty decent, but not really worth the effort it took to do all the breading. Next time I might try larger spears rather than the rounds. We had these with some thin grilled t-bone steaks and some ...

My in-laws are still in town and they picked up some thin sliced eye of round steaks the other day at the store for dinner this week. Round steak is a tougher cut, so I decided to do a slow braise to tenderize the meat and add a lot ...

1 tsp Italian seasoning (mine is ...
