Steak and potatoes

Posted by CB / no comments » / beef, dip, potato, weight watcher

I was a bad wifey last week and barely cooked so tonight to make it up to my hubs I asked him what he wanted for dinner and he said STEAK! Ask and you shall receive. I thought this would be a great time to try out a couple different side dish recipes too — Cheesy Smashed Potatoes and Nikki’s Steak Sauce.
