Confession #40-  I’m typing this post with one hand, while pushing my littlest outside in his car with the other.

I’m in my pjs.  It’s not even 7 o’clock.

In all of my fantasies of starting a food blog (which I had for years), I saw myself in a cute home office, drinking coffee, and writing my posts without interruption.  Daily.

I’m so funny in my fantasies.  

I should also mention that my oldest is still sleeping, snug in her bed…that lucky girl.

She spoiled me. Not this one. We have been up since 5.

Good thing he is cute!

Anyway, we are leaving for vacation this week, so I really wanted to get another recipe on here before we left. So in the way of many multitasking mommas, I’m finding minutes to make that happen.

This flank steak recipe is perfect for summer- fresh, delicious, and made on the grill. I love the combination of flank steak with arugula and a little cheese.  I chose shaved Parmesan for this, but feta or blue would also be outstanding!

I hope you enjoy this flank steak dinner!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• ▢ 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ▢ 1 clove garlic finely chopped
• ▢ 2/3 lb flank steak will shrink when cooked

Instructions
