I'm Glad the School Year is Over and Here's Why!

Hey Yall!  It's been a busy few weeks getting ready for the end of the school year festivities, for example, finals, graduation, Michelle's End of the Year activities, including her birthday.  I'm tellin' ya; I'm glad this school year is over.  I can enjoy the lazy days of summer.


The 2017-2018 school year had me all kinds of frustrated, angry, ready to go off due to mainly all the bad things I was witnessing at Michelle's school. 😡


Let me break it down about what went on with Michelle's school year.

Impressively Easy Rolled Hanger Steak with Spinach and Feta Recipe and Cookbook Giveaway Ends May 31st

Impressively Easy Rolled Hanger Steak with Spinach and Feta 
4-6 Servings 


This dish makes you look like such a rockstar when you serve it but it takes minimal time to make. Probably the hardest part is tying up the rolled steak with twine but its something we all imagine doing to our kids when they act up, so it gives you a little therapeutic release with this step anyway.


If you are actually being bold enough to host a dinner, then you can even cut the preparation in half. Complete all the steps through searing the meat but leave the seared meat in the refrigerator. Bake just as guests arrive, so it is warm when you sit down to eat. Just be sure to bring the meat to room temperature for about 15 minutes before you bake it.
