 Hi All--

It's been a while and I want to get out a quick note to send you a couple of good recipes to try this weekend!  The first recipe, New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp is made in the oven and can be an appetizer or a main dish.  Perfect if the weather doesn't improve!  The second, 
Grilled Flank Steak and Onions with Ancho ChiliI Rub and Onion  Blossom Horseradish Sauce, is delicious hot off the grill!  

My sister-in-law first made this BBQ Shrimp Dish for me about 35 years ago--hard to believe.  It is so full of butter that it's kind of hard to justify in my regular cooking rotation but since I'm eating high fat/low carb these days it fits right in and occasionally it can't hurt!  It is so easy to make and so delicious it's hard to pass up.  I just skip the bread part and scoop up the sauce with a spoon!

The flank steak is a classic Southwest rubbed grilled steak but the sauce is the key.  This is the sauce usually served with a Blooming Onion but it's good on just about anything and perfect with this grilled steak. Hope you enjoy these recipes.

If neither of these recipes suits your fancy why not check out my Summer Grilled Entrees recipe collection.  It's only $4.99!  Click here for more information on this recipe collection as well as my others and enjoy planning your holiday weekend menu.

Also, don't forget to stop by Baker and Olive for your 10% discount just by mentioning my name.  This works at any of there San Diego locations--Encinitas, Carmel Valley and Liberty Station.  Besides all their wonderful oils and balsamic vinegars, they are now carrying the Charter Oak Preserving Company products so you can stock up on your Hot Pepper Jelly and Lemon Curd without having to wait for the street fare!

The Diva/Queen class is a month away!  Just learned yesterday that Specialty Produce is sponsoring us with all their wonderful produce!  So thankful for this.  I think we have everything in hand to make this event our best.  Those of you who are registered will receive a final reminder abut 10 days before the event--so watch for that email.

The first Sicily trip bid arrived this week and it looks really good. We are fine-tuning it and should have all the info out and ready for you to sign up the beginning of June.  Save the date--the tour starts on April 2, 2019.

Don't forget to think about joining us for the Christmas Market River Cruise in December 2019. This tour is up and ready for you to sign up now!  Click here for the flyer.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend full of good friends, family and great food!

Have a wonderful and tasty week,      
     Phillis Carey

2. Preheat the grill. In a small bowl combine the ancho chili, cumin, coriander, mustard, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne in a small bowl to make the rub. Pat dry the flank steak with paper towels and coat well with the rub. Sprinkle onions with some of the rub as well; brush or toss with a bit of oil.
 
3. Brush the flank steak with oil all over and place on the grill. Cook the steak 7 to 9 minutes per side or to desired doneness; cook the onions next to the steak. Transfer the steak to a carving board and let rest, tented with foil, for 8 to 10 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Serve steak with onions and drizzled with sauce.
