Easy London Broil

December 27, 2011 by Julie 46 Comments

We made it to the grocery store and I am happy to report that our fridge is fully stocked!

The following produce made it into our cart:

  • Clementines
  • Green beans
  • Squash
  • Carrots
  • Apples
  • Celery
  • Spinach
  • Tomatoes
  • Strawberries
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Onions
  • Bananas

It’s nice to see some color staring back at me when I open our refrigerator. After a serious sugar attack this past weekend, I’m more than ready welcome nutrient-dense foods back into my diet.

Dinner 

While at the grocery store this afternoon, Ryan was intrigued by a new-to-us cut of meat that was on sale.

London broil!

We decided to pick it up and figure out how to cook it when we got home.

Some Googling directed us to a recipe from Food Network’s Dave Lieberman for a dry rubbed london broil that seemed easy enough.

Ryan prepped the meat while I prepared a side of roasted squash, topped with olive oil, garlic salt and toasted almonds.

This dinner tasted like it required a bunch of work, but it was really quite simple. Win!

The Bachelor Begins

Guess what starts up again next week?

The Bachelor!

The new season of The Bachelor kicks off on Monday night and you better believe that I am already pumped.

As usual, we’ll be discussing the ridiculousness that happens on Monday night’s episodes on the PBF Facebook page, so get ready to overanalyze the drama, my friends!

You should also know that I am going to do everything in my power to stalk Lindzi C., the bachelorette from Ocala, and make her be my friend so I can get all of the behind the scenes dirt to share with you guys. (Yes, it may be a short-lived friendship.)

My new BFF:

lindzi c bachelor

Get ready! Open-mouthed smile

    That meal looks delicious! I don’t usually watch The Bachelor–it’s not really my type of movie–but it’s really fun to read your commentary and thoughts on each episode!

    I totally thought of you the other night when I saw Gia from Jake’s season at Whole Foods! Corey was not at all enthused, but I knew you would have appreciated seeing her.

    P.S.
    She looked completely normal…which annoyed me because I feel like seeing a famous person in real life should have the same effect as Edward from Twilight stepping into the sun.

    I’ve never had london broil, but I heard it can be excellent when cooked correctly, so good job! I’m about to head out to the grocery store to stock up on colorful foods because I’m in desperate need of some fruits and veggies.

    It’s always fun to “know” someone on TV aka be related them somehow- in your case, Ocala! Good luck becoming BFF’s, maybe you could offer her a friendship bracelet te-hehe 😛

    oohh that’s a pretty fun fact! I don’t think I know anyone on TV in that way. Well, the red power ranger went to my high school lol. And the london broil looks good! I’ve never tried it, is it really tender?

    Never tried London broil but have passed by a gazillion times at the store. Guess i’m a bit of a chicken when it comes to new stuff . Can’t wait for the new season to start!!! And as i think Ocala is more of a smaller place, it’s totally possible that you could track her down, err… become friends. Hello, phonebook! 🙂 Also waiting for a new episode of New Girl to come on… i am obsessed with it!!

    Ahh I am so excited!! Ben wasn’t my favorite contestant on the Bachelorette, but I am so excited for the new season! That meal looks delicious! It’s always interesting how after overindulging during the holidays a plate of vegetables can almost be more appetizing than a plate of cookies.

    WetPaint.com says Lindzi is one of the final two … Not that they are necessarily correct!
    We love flank steak (aka London Broil) – mom marinates it w/soy and ginger for 24hrs, then grills it … Cut very thinly on an angle….its the ONLY beef dish I eat (scary but true) !!!

    I’ve never heard of London Broil but it looks delicious. I could eat squash with every meal. It’s one of my favorite veggies. I made a honey butternut squash with pecans for Christmas and it was like dessert! 🙂
