Finally

Today (finally) for the first time in I can’t remember how long I took the time to make myself up something tasty for dinner.

After going through an absolutely horrendous move and experiencing 9 days of the absolute worst customer service experience of my life, I figured I could use a little red meat in my life. Am I right?

A Cooking Light recipe for Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Chive sauce caught my eye recently, and I decided to play off of this idea and make a grilled steak and onion wrap with some of this intriguing sauce.

I grilled up some hunks of red onion and popped them onto of of a Tumaro’s low carb tortilla with 1/2 a slice of Sargento’s pepper jack cheese:

Next up: Horseradish-Chive Sauce!

I scaled back the sauce a bit and combined the following in a petri dish

2 tbsp fat free sour cream
2 tsp horseradish
1 tsp of spicy brown mustard
1 tbsp chopped chives
Sprinkle of lemon juice
Salt to taste

Once the sauce was done, I grilled up some thinly sliced steak, sliced up about 3 ounces of it, and added that to my wrap.

I rolled the wrap up and popped it back on the grill to melt the cheese through, and dinner was served!

With a delicious side salad of course!

This sauce was deeee-licious!

The box unpacking is moving along slowwwwly, so I foresee my meals being on the quicker lighter side. My jeans will thank me

I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious.

At least you're starting to settle in, unpacking is the worst but at least you can eat homecooked food!
