Omaha Steaks Review
First I’d like to say that I’m not getting paid to do this review. I’ve seen the Omaha Steaks banners online and I’ve passed by the stores for years, but never tasted anything. I’ve heard from friends for years that their stuff is good and I just had a craving. So for Father’s Day I decided to order one of their special packages.

Home Value Expectations Drop To Lowest Level In Survey’s History
I was watching CNBC and they said the latest survey of people who expect their Home Value to increase are at a 2 year low. Are people accepting the current situation or are they denying it?
I know C and I have accepted this fact and have continued to improve our home, not for value so much anymore, but more for personal enjoyment. We are probably going to be in our house for at least a few more years and hopefully by that time home values will be normal again.
How are you handling the way the housing market is right now? What stories have you heard?
Do you think your house will be worth more or less a year from now?
South Beach Diet Phase 1 Menu
I tried doing the South Beach Diet last week and by Friday night I bailed. I had a fun, splurgey weekend and thought I’d try again this morning. No such luck. I love my fruits, whole grains, cereal, and snacks way too much. I did, however, make a great dinner menu for the week and still plan on following it. I know that I was always looking for ideas and menus so I thought I’d post this in case anyone was searching.
Sunday: (turkey)sausage with onions and peppers, mashed cauliflower, salad
Monday: steak, mashed cauliflower with cilantro and cheddar cheese, caesar salad
Tuesday: shrimp, black beans, avocado and tomato salad
Wednesday: turkey chili, salad
Thursday: tilapia, caesar salad, broccoli
Friday: steak, zucchini and yellow squash saute, tomato and mozzarella salad
Saturday: salmon, edamame salad, mashed cauliflower
Oh and a fabulous Phase 1 dessert idea:
Take one “no sugar added” fudgsicle and scrape it all off the stick into a bowl. Add some peanut butter. Mix together and eat like ice cream. It is ridiculously delicious. Tastes like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup!!
