Date Night: Persian Beef with Khoresh

It's Friday (frugal) date night! Lately we've been trying to spend less and dine out less. When I go out and buy groceries, I like to plan ahead for the week. We don't always stick to schedule (everyone needs a little spontaneity in their lives!) but we try to make sure we use up all of our groceries. It works out nicely, because we end up trying new recipes and enjoying our time together as we prepare them.

Just recently I found a recipe for beef (which is the husby's favorite) and it includes lots of delicious spices like cayenne, paprika, nutmeg, and cinnamon. I figured "why not!" might as well try something new!

I just toasted the spices and am getting ready to blend them for the beef dinner. Mmm the house smells delicious! Can't wait! I'll give a recipe review on Monday. Movie for the evening...to be determined. We have been on a Clive Owen kick lately...so we shall see.

Hope you have a great weekend! Have any tasty meals planned?

p.s. keep your eyes peeled! I'm going to have my first guest post from the Fitness Freak early next week. She and I have become friends in the blogging/clean eating world...and I asked her to share with us! I am looking forward to it, hope you come back for more!

love,
Meg

  1. Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog! I answered your question in the comments so, you'll have to come back for a visit! I try to "eat clean" as well. I would say we "eat clean" 70% of the time. Which isn't much but we try. I will be looking through your site for some new ideas! Would you be interested in doing a guest post on my blog about clean eating and/or your favourite "clean eating" recipe?? Let me know!
    How are you liking Indie Biz!? I am so behind! But loving it!

  2. I'm Persian Armenian so I know this dish very well. It's delicious isn't it?
    I wish I knew how to cook more Persian/Armenian foods as well as my mom does. You've inspired me to make more attempts. Thanks!
