Rib-eye with Rub

Tonight we made a rib-eye steak with a lime butter sauce and a rub. It was delicious, a bit spicy however. It was also very limey. The rub had 1 1/2 tsp of kosher salt, 1 1/2 tsp of chipotle, 1 1/2 tsp of paprika, and 1 1/2 tsp of ground cumin. The rub was very tasty and I would suggest it any time you have a rib-eye steak. In a separate bowl mix 4 T of softened butter, 1/4 tsp of lime zest, 1 T of lime juice, and a minced small clove of garlic.  It was also very easy and simple to make, which I need or my food does not taste very good lets just put it at that.

Recipe came from a recipe book.

Chicken and Shrimp

For last night's dinner we had a lemon and garlic roasted chicken and spicy BBQ shrimp. They were both very tasty; the shrimp especially. The chicken we believe would have been tastier if we hadn't used a hen, however that is all the Grocery store had in the size we needed. My daughter made cookies for dessert which were delicious, once she realized she did not put enough flour and she fixed that. To top it off we had salad and mashed potatoes, which were good as well.

Herb-Roasted Turkey

For dinner one night we made a delicious herb-roasted turkey breast. It was great; it was very easy, and delicious. My daughter and I cook together, and we have a blast. The next day I sliced it, put it in a skillet with 1/2 cup of chicken broth and a T of butter, covered and let simmer for fifteen minutes, and stirred. It was moist and very tasty! My whole family and I loved this meal.
