California Beef Salad

This is a great salad that’s a meal in itself. I enjoy serving it with a loaf of nice French bread or baguette lightly toasted. I often make this in the summer when the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove. I’ll grill up a London broil then slice it super thin for salads such as this one. The prep time on this doesn’t include the marinading time.

Rump Roast with Roasted Celery, Carrot and Acorn Squash Soup

This dish was fun, but a little challenging when it came to presentation.  I wanted the traditional flavors but needed, in my opinion, to stay away from the traditional plating.  I will admit, it’s been some time since I made a roast, but it sure reminded me of family, friends and was fit for the season.  Enjoy!
