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.

What I Ordered From Omaha Steaks

The Fire Up The Grill package 1 $59.99 $59.99
It included:
(1 pkg.) Boneless Pork Chop 4/4 Oz
(1 pkg.) Cake Chocolate Lovers 6 Inch
(1 pkg.) Filet Mignon 2/6 Oz
(1 pkg.) Top Sirloin Steaks 2/6 Oz
(1 pkg.) Omaha Steaks Burgers 4/4 Oz
(1 pkg.) Chicken Breast, Bnl 1 Lb
(1 pkg.) Potatoes Stfd Baked 4/5.75 Oz
Free Omaha Steaks Burgers 12/4 Oz

While my Omaha Steaks were en route to my house I had an opportunity to ask a friend soon after my order if she ever had Omaha Steaks. She exclaimed, “OMG they are the best.” Nuff said, I was pumped and ready for arrival.

Half Price Shipping on selected combos from OmahaSteaks.com! Valid through 12-27-2009.

I was nauseas for the first 4 months of my pregnancy and the past month or so we’ve been working on our kitchen remodel. I finally have a working kitchen again and I have a great appetite. I also feel extremely guilty for totally copping out on any cooking for so long. My family and myself have definitely suffered…and I am so sick of eating out. So, this is the week that I am starting back into my meal planning. I cannot wait to start working in my brand new kitchen!

Monday: chicken taco salad with cilantro ranch dressing

Tuesday: spaghetti and turkey meatballs, salad, garlic bread

Wednesday: shrimp with mango cilantro dressing, salad, corn

Thursday: pizza and greek salad

Friday: chicken curry with chickpeas and tomatoes, rice, zucchini

What’s cooking at your house this week?

I’ve realized, though, that I am ready to kick it up a notch and I am totally bored with all of my current cook books. I love cook books though so I am looking for a few good suggestions.

I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about Jessica Seinfeld’s new one called Deceptively Delicious. Wouldn’t it make more sense being called Deliciously Deceptive? That’s besides the point. The book looks really good and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Currently my staples are Barefoot Contessa, The Healthy Cook, and a collection of printed out recipes from the food forums here. I have a few Williams Sonoma and other random books, but none of them do much for me.

What’s on your cook book shelf?
