You know it’s time to celebrate when the husband applauds multiple meals you’ve cooked! This one was one of his favorites…probably because it’s made with steak. It’s better than takeout because you know that the ingredients are GOOD for you!
I’ve been reading through the Daniel Plan (for the 2nd time)–it’s basically a wellness guide to life following the 5 essential principles: Faith; Food; Fitness; Focus; Friends. It’s an excellent read that reminds us that being healthy isn’t just about our physical appearance, but honoring the body God gave us—inside & out!
Anyway, the food principal somewhat follows a paleo style of eating–veggies, meats & fruit–however it does include beans & whole grains. Dairy may or may not be included depending on how your body responds, same goes for gluten. Simply put, cut out the processed foods we’re (unfortunately) so accustomed to eating & replace it with REAL food that swims, walks or grows on a tree or out of the ground. Seems pretty simple…right?
So onward with the recipe…which, as you might guess is from the Daniel Plan Cookbook! Sidenote: This is slightly adapted to my liking & double the recipe in the cookbook because we’re hungry kids here in the Cenname household.
