WWW~Spicy Flank Steak

Well, here I am with another recipe. I hope you all know that you don't have to be on weight watchers to enjoy these recipes! lol I try to post healthy dishes for the "weight watcher" not because you are on WEIGHT WATCHERS! Have I confused you all? I merely post the points for those who are actually counting! :) So, here we go! Oh and before I forget...I so appreciate your comments and emails....they really make my day.....REALLY they DO! :) Thanks!!!! Keep them coming!!

SPICY FLANK STEAK

1/3 cup sour cream
(I used light)
2 tablespoons ground horseradish
2 tablespoons chili sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 beef flank steak (1-1-1/2 pounds)


In a small bowl combine the sourcream and horseradish. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Combine the chili sauce, lime juice, pepper flakes and salt--brush on each side of the steak.


Broil or grill for 6-8 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin strips. Serve with sour cream sauce. YUM-O!!

Hope you are enjoying these weight watcher meals! I am enjoying posting these healthy meals! :)

3 oz. steak with one tablespoon sour cream sauce = 6 points.

Ok....so I didn't get back to my regular posting....

I really truly meant to get my regular posts written. Life just got too busy.

I think I should be able to starting on Monday. {I hope}

We have had fog for days and days and days. I am so ready for some sunshine.

I am ordering my seeds and have spring fever pretty bad.

Here are a few pictures taken around our yard. As you can see everything is covered in frost.

It gets so heavy that you will see if falling off the branches....just like snow.

Pretty? Yes of course....but it sure doesn't look very SPRING like does it?

It is in the 30's so that is nice....we just need some SUN!

What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

Happy Weekend everyone! :) Stop back on Monday for a great new recipe!

I'm back! :)

We took a spur-of -the moment- trip last Wedneday

and we did not come home until Sunday! It was so fun

to get away and enjoy ourselves. It happened all because

my farmer was looking at new sprayer in Iowa. So, we all

decided to go and have a mini-vacation in Minneapolis!

We stayed at the Raddison in Bloomington which has

the nation's largest indoor waterpark. {waterparkofamerica.com}

A good time was had by all! :) We are home now and I

am scrambling to get caught up on laundry and other chores.

I missed checking out what you all have been up too! Leave

me a comment and tell me what exciting things you have

been doing in your neck of the woods~I want to hear

the not so exciting stuff too! ;) I will be back to my regular

posting schedule so stop back soon.
