Swiss steak or as I call it my “miracle” beef. By the way, the name does not refer to Switzerland, but instead the process of swissing meat. With this recipe you will be able to transform tougher and cheaper meat cuts to ones so delicious and soft they will be tender enough to be eaten without a knife. Enjoy! I used thin eye of round steak for this recipe; for a very low-cost price, the package came with about 6 steaks. Ingredients: 1 package of thin eye round steaks 1 cup of chopped onions 1 tbsp of chopped parsley 3 or 4 peeled tomatoes ( I used a can of italian peeled tomatoes)…

Pineapple with Molasses & Lime Zest
Since it’s summer, we’ve been thinking about new fresh and light recipes, especially desserts. After trying this dessert at Boqueria, a great local tapas restaurant, we’d found our winner. It’s a strange sounding combination, but somehow pineapple, lime zest, and molasses combine to make a healthy, and surprisingly delicious dessert. Just slice a pineapple into quarters, add the zest of a small lime, and drizzle with molasses. Since I’ve got half a ripe pineapple already, I made a delicious fresh pineapple juice. One of our favorite variations is to blend it with mint.
