Our First Recipe!

Hi Friends!

Well, here goes... This is the first recipe I'm to going to try and post. I know it's a good one - I've made it many times for my family and the do enjoy it. Like all recipes I intend to share with you, it's a versatile one, so you can customize it for your own family.

Like many women, over the years, I've learned to use and love my crockpot. I'm constantly on the lookout for new slow-cooker recipes. We call this one:

Crockpot Steak Strips ("creative", huh?)

1 lb. top sirloin steak (or cut of your choice), cut into strips
3 tbs. soy sauce
2 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. honey
2 tbs minced garlic
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 tbs. green onion, chopped

Place steak strips in crockpot. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix ingredients and pour over steak. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. The juice may be used as au jous.

Goes very well with a Caesar salad and corn on the cob, or a baked potato.

Easy, easy, easy!

I certainly hope this helps someone become a little more "super" to their family. Let me know what you think. ;-)

Happy Eating!

Welcome to Super Mom Recipes

Welcome to my blog. I'm new to this world, so please bear with me - I have no idea what I'm doing.

I decided to create this blog because I like to write, cook, and take pictures. And I'm a working mom. But who isn't? If you're a mom, you work! And what mom doesn't struggle to get it all done? I work outside of the home in a busy and professional (yet stressful) setting and every day after work is a challenge to provide a good, nutritious dinner for my family - quickly. So the most important reason why I wanted to do this is to help those who face the same challenges with easy, versatile, tried-and-true recipes that I serve to my own friends and family. Hopefully it'll help us be a little bit more "super".
