My hubby and I decided to stay in and enjoy Valentine’s Day at home. We just got in from out of town and didn’t really want to compete with the Valentine crowd. So, I decided to cook a steak, baked sweet potato and a salad. My salad turned out great so, I’ll share the recipe.
Today is Tuesday’s Tasty Tidbits and guest blogging with Grocery Shop For Free. Hope you will share your Valentine’s Day recipe….or any recipe for that matter….below in the Recipe Link-up and make sure you link back to us on your post.
I discovered some products at the stock show a couple of weeks ago and later learned that they are also sold at Central Market.
These are manufactured in Texas at the Texas Olive Ranch and they are delicious. I didn’t even know that olives were grown in Texas! The vinegar is made from pomegranates and since I had never seen this, I had to have it. I have not been disappointed.
T-BONE STEAK
Marinade the steak in the Pomegranate Vinegar and Worcestershire Sauce for about 45 minutes. Sprinkle it with garlic powder and salt. Grill it for 4 minutes per side.

Cook the 2 sweet potatoes in the microwave for about 4 minutes and then put them in a 400 degree oven to cook until done. This saves time and takes about 20 minutes in the oven, instead of 45. I eat my sweet potatoes plain but if you want to be fancy, melt butter on top and sprinkle it with brown sugar.
POMEGRANATE DRESSING AND GREEN SALAD
Pomegranate Dressing:
2 tbsp garlic flavored olive oil (or regular olive oil with 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
2 tbsp pomegranate vinegar
1 tsp sugar
Salad:
Romaine lettuce ( enough for two large salads)
1 stalk of celery
1/2 large jalepeno
3 large olives or 6 small ones
1 jar marinated artichokes (drained and rinsed)
4 green onions (all parts)
6 or 8 strawberries
1 tbsp sunflower seeds

Gosh that looks so good. We are supposed to BBQ steaks this weekend and now of course our weather is going to turn cold and wet. Figures. I will have to try that marinade though or something I can come up with that is similar. Yum!
these are making me hungry! yummy!
Good Morning,
Looks like you had a great Valentine Dinner. I brought you my Southwest Quiche and hope you enjoy it. Thank you for sharing and hosting us today and you have a great week!
Happy Ruby Tuesday,
A Valentine’s dinner cooked at home is special.
The salad ingredients sound so tasty, that we’ll try this recipe , but without the Pomegranate vinegar.
Hmm, I wonder if those bottles of oils and vinegars from Texas Olive Ranch are sold on-line, because the basil olive oil looks good.
My Ruby Tuesday post is a photo today, although I have recipes in the categories.
Hi, thanks for hosting! Hope it’s okay, I shared two links I’m really excited about this week, marinated chicken hearts that are super delicious and so healthy, and some fantastic homemade breakfast options. Can’t wait to check out all these links

Wonderful dinner ! Happy Valentine’s Day !

Your salad looks and sounds delicious.
Girlfriend, what a delicious feast….I’m putting in my request for some of the same for my upcoming birthday LOL. I need to get some of the oils…Central Market? We stayed home also and I made salmon, shrimp cocktail, cheese biscuits, baked potato, brocoli. I still had a box of red velvet cupcake mix I had bought on the square in Granbury so I baked them and they were soooo good. Ok now that we’ve been talking about food, I should have something to eat with my coffee hahaha. Keep writing….cus this reader enjoys every word:)
