Herb-Coated Top Sirloin with Brocolli and Rice
Herb-Coated Top Sirloin with Brocolli and Rice

The meat we bought was used to make EatingWell's Herb-Coated Fillet Mignon, only we used center-cut sirloin instead. We actually prefer the sirloin to the fillet mignon for this recipe. It turned out really tender and if I didn't know any better, I'd think it was fillet mignon anyhow.

I'm in EatingWell Magazine (August 2010)!

By the way, there's a misprint in the article. It only took 12 weeks to lose 14 pounds, not 16 weeks. (90 days is 12 weeks.) Since the article, I've lost another 8 pounds!

how do you roll? Alone.

I've previously blogged about how do you roll? and this time, I rolled alone. I was going for a dress fitting and decided to go ahead and eat some sushi for dinner prior to my appointment since I had some time.

For Father's Day we had a full table, with Dan's parents, my parents, Dan's brother and his girlfriend, my ex-husband and his fiancé with their daughter, and our friend Jason and of course me, Dan and Gaetano. We all squeezed around the dining room table for some grilled chicken and beef skewers that were marinated in my Coconut Lime Marinade.
