Getting Back Into the Swing Of Things

I have always loved fall; there are just so many things to like. I love the weather and those cooler, crisp days with bright sunshine. I love pulling out my cardigans, scarves, and boots. Ok, I know…you’re thinking “Erica, you wear cardigans all year long!” It’s true. I am a cardigan lover all year long, but I love fall and winter cardigans that are thicker and carry more texture and weight. Just writing about it makes me giddy! I also love getting back into a solid routine with the start of fall just around the corner. It means getting into regular meal planning again, and simple recipes like this one make life so much easier.

I think my favorite cut of steak has traditionally been a flank steak. I love a thinner cut, and Justin does a great job of cooking it to the perfect doneness. However, over the past summer I really started to love skirt steak. It is another thinner cut, even more so than my beloved flank steak, and it so tasty. It has just the right amount of fat to give the steak a little extra buttery taste, but not too much. Are you already a fan of skirt steak? I feel it is often underutilized and appreciated, and it is totally worth your time to give it a try! Plus, it will save you a couple bucks compared to a flank steak too!
