Grilled Steak

For dinner on Saturday we grilled some delicious steaks. Of course we were left with a good amount of steak. It is not that I don't like heating it up and just eating it but I knew this could be turned into a delicious meal.

Steak Fajita Nachos

• left over steak


• onions, diced


• jalapenos. diced


• vinegar based bbq sauce


• cheese - whatever is on hand


• chips

The first thing you need to do is cut up the steak to small bite size pieces. Next put it in a skillet with the onion and the bbq sauce. Saute it on medium heat just until the steak is warm. Remove from heat and add jalapenos.

On a cookie sheet, lay out tortilla chips. Next put the steak mixture on top. Cover with cheese. Broil till melted. Serve with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes and salsa.

This turned out to be an excellent lunch for my husband and I. The bbq sauce added an excellent tang to the nachos. The key to this meal was that everything I used to create it was on hand. I did not run to the store for any part. You want to make the meal to fit what you have and like. We like things spicy so that is why we had the jalapenos on the nachos.

And so this adventure begins...

I love food. I love cooking it, eating it and sharing it. The joy I receive when someone appreciates the food I make is priceless.

I am sure our family is not alone in times where money is tight and you want to save every penny you can. You want to make the food you have last longer. So you make a wonderful dinner and of course had a ton left over or maybe just a small container full. What do you do with that leftover food? Put it in the fridge hoping someone will heat it up the next day for a meal? Only to find that even though everyone loved the meal the night before the idea of eating it later that day or week does not interest anyone so you end up throwing it away a week later...hopefully it is only a week!

My goal is to help others take those leftovers and make a new meal creation. This may only be a new meal for one at lunch, a wonderful snack for everyone to enjoy or even taking that small container of leftovers and creating a whole new meal for the entire family.

Join me on my new adventure of making those wonderful leftover creations!
