Spring is all about getting creative with veggies and kickstarting spring cleaning! I am all about using leftovers but also reimagining how to evolve a dish into something different. Yesterday’s steak brought back memories of summer but we made way too much, even with guests helping us! When thinking about how to use the steak tonight, we were feeling a salad to take a break from heavier dishes. I really enjoyed our dinner tonight and hope you enjoyed reading about it!
