April already?!?!

Yes, I know it is now April 20, but March was so crazy, April just slid in with a sigh of relief! At our home, March Madness had more to do with our schedule than basketball (even though we did watch a lot of basketball too!). Between the beginning of baseball, AWANA games (in which the Sparks whom I co-coached won!), and the church's Easter drama, my head was spinning. I didn't really know how tired I was getting until it was over. Cooking at home did not happen as much as it needed to, but I did manage to make two kinds of cheesecakes. The first was a chocolate cheesecake tart and the other was a chocolate chip cheesecake. The most interesting part of the second was the crust which was made from crushed thin mints. Yummy! We ate turkey medallions, salmon croquettes, pecan crusted chicken tenders, and pan seared steak. The steak was super easy and awesome! Although it called for flat iron steak (couldn't find that), I used the same seasoning on tenderloins. Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, salt, and garlic powder mixed together and spread over each side of the steak. Another yummy dish!! So that is my March...just a little into April!
