P asked me for a couple of recipes that I used on Saturday, so I decided I would post them here to have them on record.
Summer Steak Salad
1-2 flank steaks, marinated in 3/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp salt, grilled to taste, and sliced.
2-3 avocadoes, diced
1 small package cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, peeled and diced
1 bag spring mix or red lettuce
Toss together in large salad bowl and serve. Top with lime-raspberry vinaigrette.
Lime-Raspberry Vinaigrette
This is my own concoction. You can play with amounts as you like.
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/8 cup raspberry wine vinegar
1/8 cup cider vinegar
1 Tbs dijon mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Shake together in well-sealed cruet until blended. Serve over steak salad.
Mom's Zucchini Bread
One of those nice-to-have-if-you-garden recipes
Combine:
3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Add:
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups flour
2 cups grated zucchini
Bake in two greased and floured loaf pans or in one bundt pan for 50 minutes at 350°.

The zucchini bread recipe is almost (if not) exactly the same as the one that I use. SO GOOD!!! Even though it makes 2 loaves and we only have 2 people in the house, it never lasts long.
Make that two *adults*. Lucy usually contributes somewhat to the disappearance of the bread as well. ;-) Oh, and that vinaigrette looks great! I'll have to try it sometime.
I just tried the zucchini bread recipe this morning. It is delicious! Thanks for sharing it!
Oh cool! Glad you liked it! Pete likes it best with maple butter... ;-)
