Just back home from our annual day at the Mattaponi Drag boat Races.  We have such a great time.  The people who put on the event put on a great day with music, food, vendors and of course the races themselves. It's a fun, relaxing day sitting on the river's edge.  We are already waiting to get next years date on the calendar.Our mandatory going somewhere selfie (we are getting better haha)Our view for the race: 

Philly Cheesesteak Foil Packs

/

Saw this recipe for Philly Cheesesteak Foil Packs on Facebook and it looked interesting. Since we are always looking for new meals for when we go camping we decided to try it out at home this past weekend.Overall it was really good, I would definitely cut back on the Italian seasoning as we both thought it was too strong. We ate it without bread but toasted sub rolls would have been great. There was more than enough for the two of us, we even had some leftovers.Recipe:

  • 1 lb. flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 slices provolone
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  1. Heat grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, toss together steak, peppers, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, and olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Place steak mixture in foil packs. Fold up packs and grill, 10 minutes.
  3. Open packs, top with provolone, and cover grill to melt, 2 minutes.
  4. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Our First Pool Party

My mom decided she wanted to have a party and volunteered our house :).  It was fine and really put the pressure on us to get the pool are completed. We did it with just days to spare.So last Sunday several members of our family and extended family got together and hung out for the day and enjoyed fun in the pool. 
We look forward to many more of there days.
