Elk Steak

Joe makes the best elk steak. I remember him making it while we were dating. I was surprised that I liked it so much- since I had never had elk before. This is something I really crave when I am pregnant.


If the steaks are frozen, let them thaw out. Lay them on a plate and rub each side with a little bit of olive oil. Then sprinkle with seasoned salt.
Optional: Dip in beaten egg whites and then in flour.
Cook in a skillet with olive oil- don't use too much!
Optional: Serve with sauteed mushrooms & onions! YUMMY

Mexican Chopped Salad with Honey- Lime Dressing



This is a recipe I saw on Lyndsie Field's blog. When I decided to make it I didn't have all of the ingredients. So I used what I had. The jicama is a must in my opinion. I also added cucumbers, olives and green onions. I topped it with a chicken breast cooked in a little bit of sesame oil. The Honey-Lime dressing is awesome. Can be served with ranch dressing.

SALAD:

2½ cups


chopped romaine lettuce

15.5 oz


can black beans, rinsed and well-drained

¾ cup


chopped seeded tomato

¾ cup


chopped peeled jicama

¾ cup


fresh corn kernels, uncooked (or use frozen or canned)

¾ cup


thinly sliced radishes

1 large


avocado, diced

1 large


red bell pepper, chopped

¼ cup


crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese (optional...I used mozzerella)



HONEY- LIME DRESSING:

¼ cup


fresh lime juice

2 Tbs


olive oil

2 Tbs


honey

2 Tbs


finely chopped fresh cilantro (or more to taste)

1 clove


garlic, peeled and minced (I used a garlic press)

1 tsp


chopped jalapeño pepper (use canned for less heat)
