Sesame Cumin Beef
Corn and Cantaloupe Salad
Tomatoes and Cucumbers
Mango Ricotta Sundae
Peach and Berry Crisp
While I'd planned on separating the salads, I combined them after realizing my picnic basket plate simply wasn't big enough to do that! Here's my recipes:
Sesame Cumin Beef
(Serves 4)
1/2 # Chuck Tender Sirloin Steaks
2 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 tsp. Cumin
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
Place steak in crock pot. Cover with spices and garlic. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. Refrigerate. Slice with electric knife.
3 Tbsp. Sesame Seeds, toasted
Place in ziploc bag and crush.
Dressing
(Serves 2)
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 tsp. Soy Sauce, reduced sodium
1 tsp. Honey
1 tsp. Cider Vinegar
Juice of 1/2 Lime
Line the plate with Spring Mix. Add sliced beef, sesame seeds and 1/4 cup Edamame.
Cucumbers and Tomatoes
(Serves 3)
2 Cucumbers, petite, sliced thin
1 Plum Tomato, diced
1 Tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
Fresh Parsley
I picked these from our container garden!
Corn and Cantaloupe Salad
(Serves 4)
1/2 small Cantaloupe, diced
1 ear of Corn, cooked and cut off the cob
1/4 cup Dill, fresh, snipped
1/2 Lemon, juiced
1 tsp. Olive Oil
1 Sweet Red Pepper, mini, sliced julienne
1/4 tsp. Dry Mustard
Mix all ingredients and chill.
Mango Sundae
(Serves 2)
1/6 Fresh Mango
Slice off ends. Scoop out filling and dice. Add
Lime Zest
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese, part skim
Fill mango shells with cheese. Top with diced mango-lime zest mixture.
Dessert was Fresh Peach and Black Raspberry Crisp, made with my Crunchy Oatmeal-Almond Crust. (I'll post this later). The crust works better in a pie. . . but this was still very tasty!
The Watters Smith Home, built in 1876, had a magnificent kitchen.
I loved the cream separator.
and the apple peeler. . . though my little vegetable peeler suits my portions perfectly!
