Beef and Lamb Kofta Lettuce Wraps




Calling all lettuce wrap lovers, meet your newest love interest: Beef and Lamb Kofta Wraps (be sure to sub quinoa for brown rice if you want a serious low-carb meal). It's like an asian lettuce wrap turned Mediterranean.  Need more good ideas? Try subbing farro or barley for rice and don't forget the cucumber greek yogurt sauce that won't make you miss PF Changs for a second.

Mustard-Roasted Potatoes


My Friday night go-to of meat and potatoes is anything but ordinary.  The trick is to find superb steak from a great butcher (like Gepperth's in Lincoln Park) and pair it with Ina Garten's mustard-roasted potatoes and a green vegetable (like roasted asparagus or burned broccoli).  Light a fire, open a nice bottle of red, and enjoy. 

I highly recommend their skirt steak marinated in soy vey for at least 12 hours.  Be sure to ask for a thin cut.
