Pink Monday

Valentines is definitely the day to rock red hair and diamonds and be seen. A great reason to party. Speaking of bling, we just love how females are doing things. Trina recently launched a jewelry line of fun and classy pieces. People still stunt. The game hasn't changed. She even has a line of bridal tiaras like this "Majesty" headpiece. https://laverne.store/

Tassel earrings haven't run their course yet and these gold plated "Kandi" earrings are definitely glitzy.

This is definitely turning into a cooking blog but, we all got to eat. Also, you want to have authority in your kitchen. You want things under control and this takes sophistication. This Valentines day the menu is seafood and steak. Start things off with sushi from Kroger's. It's good and affordable.

Ribeye steak in a "Red Wine Mushroom Sauce" is on the menu. Serve this over Idaho loaded instant potatoes. However an easier option is the beef burgundy recipe I posted in another blog right here: https://aularale1231.wixsite.com/traphouseministries/post/colonial-food

Ribeye Steaks

Directions:

1. Generously season both sides of your ribeye steaks with salt and pepper and let sit at room temperature until ready to cook. At least 30 minutes.
