	Grilled Flank Steak by Alyssa Short The hubby decided to celebrate his first Father's Day by cooking supper for everyone else, and he even went through a few cookbooks to choose a menu.

	Steakhouse Onion Rings by Alyssa Short Steakhouse Onion RingsThe hubby and I are both huge fans of steak, and we grill that more than anything else throughout the summer months. And some of the winter months, as well.

	Chipotle Tabasco-Marinated Pork by Alyssa Short Chipotle Tabasco-Marinated PorkOne of my favorite kitchen ingredients is chipotle Tabasco sauce. The hubby and I discovered it a few years ago, and it's smoky and spicy, but still calm enough to use as even a dipping sauce (we sprinkle it on our tacos sometimes).This is an adaptation of a Tabasco marinade recipe, and it combines the…	1 vote 301 views

It's a cinch to make…	1 vote 1294 views
