Welcome to...

I started this blog to talk about my girls, two pugs, Wrinkles & Sputters, our kids!  We got them as puppies and they are 10 years old now!

Since starting my blog we now have adopted four little boy pugs, Mugzee, adopted in October 2009, Taz in May 2010, Dex October 2010 and Lucky the latest addition to our family, adopted November 2010.  So if you catch me talking about the girls and boys, or my kids, you’ll know who I mean.

I’m a stay at home Mommy to Wrinkles, Sputters, Mugzee,Taz, Dex & Lucky.  In May of 2010, I became a Foster Mommy for Southern Nevada Pug Rescue.  On a daily basis I may have 7 pugs and my great nephew Caiden who is 5 when he is not in school.  

I thought this would be a great place for you to hear about our adventures with pugs. To spread the word about rescue and just have some fun.  Anyway… I have so much I want to share with you about the things in my life that I love… Pugs, Kids, Fishy’s, Eating, Drinking, Decorating, Travel and just plain living life to the fullest!

I hope while your here you can find something to wag your tail about!

 

 

This is where I take my kids, Wrinkles, Sputters, Mugzee, Taz, Dex & Lucky. 

As far as I am concerned there is nobody better than Dr. Varela and his staff!

Tuscan Steak Dinner

This is so easy and so yummy!  Get yourself the steak of your choice, I have used a 5lb Porterhouse, which is like a roast, you’ll eat it for days!  I have also used a Tri-Tip, and Rib Eyes. 

Shopping List

Steak of your choice

5 or 6 sprigs of fresh Rosemary  (soak in water for an hour or so)

1 tablespoon fresh Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Basil & Parsley (you can use dry but fresh is the best)

2 Cloves garlic

1 lemon

1/4 to 1/2 cups Olive Oil

2 can of Northern White Beans (drained)

Chicken Stock  (about 1 cup)

Crusty Bread of your choice

Salad if desired

 

TUSCAN WHITE BEANS

Drain 2 can of Northern White Beans

Drizzle with Olive Oil to cover beans, about  1/2 cup

Add 1 cup chicken stock

Add 1 tablespoon each of fresh Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Basil & Parsley

Salt to taste

Stir everything together

Simmer slowly until the thickness you desire, keep warm while you cook the steak.

 

TUSCAN STEAK

Rub steak with Olive Oil

Sprinkle with Salt

Get the grill really hot,  then carefully  PUT THE SOAKED ROSEMARY UNDER THE GRATES on the GRILL.

Place steak on grill above the Rosemary, the smoke of the Rosemary makes this steak so good!

Grill the steak until your desired degree of doneness, I like medium rare

When you remove the steak squeeze fresh lemon on it and let rest 3-5 minutes.

 

Serve with warm crusty bread and a salad with Balsamic Vinegar dressing if desired.

 

BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING

2 parts olive oil

1 part balsamic vinegar

wisk together until it thickens
