Welcome!

Welcome to Cancel Your Reservation. This is a collection of recipes that I have cooked or baked and want to share with you.

First - let me say, I do not like to cook. I don't get a relaxing feeling while chopping veggies, or strolling the aisles of the grocery store. I would much rather make a dinner reservation and eat out with my husband and enjoy being waited on, and relaxing at the end of the day. But lets be real, eating out all the time gets expensive, and its not the best for the waistline or our health, even though there are many healthy alternatives available now when eating out.

So, with that being said, I get in the kitchen after work and cook. I don't like it, I'd much rather clean up and do dishes after the meal than prepare the meal. The kitchen isn't my favorite room of the house. To give you some background, I burn things when I am cooking. ALOT. I can't tell you how many times I have set the fire alarm off in my house. I also burn myself while cooking, not on purpose, but I'm clumsy in the kitchen - and messy. So, if you are like me, and like to eat out, more than you like to cook, please read over these recipes and try them! Just get in your kitchen - even if it is a few nights a week. The recipes are easy to prepare, and they taste good! They just might make you cancel your reservation - and eat in! Not all of the time of course, who are we kidding :) - but more often.

Just a note, I did not come up with these recipes - no - I don't have that gift that some people are blessed with that allows them to come up with amazing recipes and flavors that compliment each other. Sources for the recipes will be noted.

Sirloin Tips with Smoky Pepper Sauce

This recipe for Sirloin Tips with Smoky Pepper Sauce came from Better Homes and Gardens "Anyone Can Cook Magazine".  I picked it up while waiting in line at the grocery store, after I flipped through the pages of the Soap Digest - had to see what Bo, Hope, Stephano and Victor were up to on Days! It was super easy, and super good - a hearty, winter meal that I will definitely fix again. I served it with a side of mashed potatoes and they were the perfect side to soak up the smoky pepper sauce. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 1/2  pounds boneless beef bottom sirloin (tri-tip) steak trimmed of fat
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 12-16 ounce jar roasted sweet red and/or yellow peppers (I used red peppers)
1/2 cup hickory or mesquite flavor bbq sauce
1/4 cup snipped fresh Italian (flat leaf) parsely

Cut meat into to 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces; sprinkle with paprika. In a large skilled heat oil over medium high heat. Add meat; brown for 5 minutes or to desired doneness, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet.
Meanwhile, drain roasted sweet peppers, reserving the liquid. Cut up peppers. Measure 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid (if necessary) add enough water to equal 1/2 cup.
Add roasted peppers and the reserved liquid to the skillet. Stir in bbq sauce. Cook uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Return meat to skillet; heat through. Sprinkle with parsley. Makes 4 servings.
