Grilled Steaks

Despite the gray and drizzly day, we decided to grill steaks anyways! I found 2 packages of steaks in the freezer that needed to be used up. And since all the veggies are coming from the garden, I could keep this meal frugal even using both packages. Each package was almost 1 lb. 2 lbs of steak is way more than we need for our family, but I asked the Hubs to grill them both so that we’d have leftovers for lunch!

While eating this meal, the Hubs said the following, “I’m so blessed to have a wife who loves to make healthy, home cooked meals.” {blush}

To which I replied, “I’m so blessed to have a husband who’ll eat whatever concoction I come up with each night!” đŸ˜‰

Enough with the gushing…

When steaks were cheaper, I could get this closer to $5! But now, they are still yummy to grill when your budget allows!
