Weight Watcher quick and delicious steak taco

I modified a very quick and very delicious Weight Watcher's recipe for a very busy Tuesday night.

Tuesday's are one of my busiest nights, when I have Bible Study (this one) and little time in the evening for anything else.

The original recipe calls for flank steak, but I used a ribeye.  I seasoned it with taco seasoning mix and started it cooking. (One day I am going to make my own taco seasoning. really, its on my list).




While it was cooking, I:

• chopped some cherry tomatoes, purple onion and cilantro and mixed it all together. 
• heated a wheat tortilla and spread it with some sour cream and half an avocado.  
• heavily salted and peppered. 

By the time the steak was cooked, everything else was ready to be piled on top of it.

It was really delicious and I even surprised myself how quick this was.

$14.10

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday yard sale finds:

 

Black Metal standing lamp with white shade $5

I'm a big fan of a floor lamp. I have them all over my house and they are not cheap.  This was $5 and I could not pass it up. Its intended spot is in the guest bedroom as part of its little re-doing.

 

 

Small brown lamp with brown shade $2

My thoughts are starting to turn to the next item on my list after the guest room is done and the guest bath is going to get a little sprucing up. Again, just like the guest room, not doing enough to say its redecorating, just a little refreshing while not spending much at all and thinking this lamp will be part of that. 

 

 

Six white pillowcases and a matching flat sheet $4

 There were some pretty specific things I've been looking for to use in the guest room, and three white pillow cases were on the top of the list. I hit the yard sale jackpot with these. They are very heavy 100% cotton and were $.50 each. I bought six of them and the matching flat sheet. I needed three for the guest room.  What am I going to do with the others?  I told myself that having quality white pillow cases is never a bad idea. I plan to  buy a plain, high quality white fitted sheet to make a set.

 

Scissors $1

 I like to keep some in multiple rooms.

 

Two metal cake pans $2

It was only a few weeks ago when making four cakes for the food ministry at church that I realized that I only had one set of cake pans. That means, only making one cake at a time.  That's when the hunt official began. Since then, looking for heavy duty like new matching cake pans. This is my newest set.

 

Wire picture hanger $.10

I collect French toile trays and hang them over my buffet in the kitchen area. I am forever in need of these little hangers.

Mani Monday- Essie Gel Setter

Does anyone else think Essie polish chips easily and just in general does not last?  They have the nicest colors and so shiny, but I find it is not long lasting polish.

I was excited to see the  new gel setter top coat.  So much so, I tried it out two weeks in a row.

I find, I can get through a work week with it a lot better than with the old standard top coat and it does extend the life of the polish to a good 4-5 days now.
