Oh how I love Thy Crumb Cake!!

Well yes I love crumb cake who doesn't? I have had a recipe that is just Fantastic!! I thought the perfect time to share it was today. I made a little Birthday dinner for Heather's 30th and she is a lover of Crumb Cake too, so here it is!!!

1 Box Yellow Cake Mix (plus ingredients on back of box)

2 Sticks cold salted butter
2 1/4 Cups flour
1 1/2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1 ¾ Cups sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoons vanilla
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

PREHEAT oven to 350.

PREPARE cake mixe in large bowl according to directions on box. Spray 9X13 pan with non-stick spray. Pour batter into pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until center is just barely set.

WHILE cakes are baking, prepare crumb topping. In large bowl of electric mixer combine, butter, flour, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla until all crumbly.

IMMEDIATELY after cake is removed from oven, break crumb topping into marble size pieces with fingers, sprinkling over top. Put back in oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes (topping will begin to look a little less wet/raw). Let cool fully then dust with powdered sugar, using a sieve.

CUT into squares and serve.

Flank Steak

Ok, I love me some flank steaks!!! The only thing one must understand is that this cut of meat is tougher than others, so really a perfect flank steak is cooked medium rare and sliced on a diagonal. Prepared this way, marinated, cooked quickly at high heat, thinly sliced, flank steak practically melts in your mouth. I put it over salad just to pretend we are healthy, but really it can be paired with anything. Enjoy INGREDIENTS Marinade Ingredients 1/3 cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup honey 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Other ingredients 2 pounds flank steak Kosher salt Freshly ground pepper 1 Score the surface of the steak with 1/4 inch deep knife cuts, about an inch apart, across the grain of the meat. Combine the marinade ingredients. Place steak and marinade ingredients in a large freezer bag. Coat the steak well with the marinade. Seal the bag and place in a bowl. Chill and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to ov...

Homemade Tortilla Chips, and soooo easy.

Chips 12 fresh corn tortillas vegetable oil Chipotle Salt 1 tsp. ground chipotle 2 tsp. kosher salt Serves 2-3 Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Start with good corn tortillas. You’ll usually find them in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Traditional corn tortillas are smaller than the flour tortillas usually used for burritos. Lightly spray each whole tortilla on one side with cooking oil. (Or brush it on.) Stack the tortillas up. Whack the stack into four pieces. And then in four again. You want to wind up with 8 wedges. Spread the chips out on two ungreased, unlined baking pans. Arrange them so they don’t overlap (if they overlap, they won’t get as crunchy). Pop the pans into your preheated 400-degree oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until light brown and crisp. Yeah Baby, your Own chips!!!!!!!!!
