Back to Good

The holidays are over.

We are all settling back into our normal routines of returning to work and the kids going back to school.
The over indulging of rich and heavy festive foods has given way to healthier fare.

This dish is one of my favourites. The lean sirloin steaks, green peppers and lypocene rich tomatoes make it healthy and low in fat. It pairs well with mashed potatoes and broccoli.

Once this dish goes in the oven you will have plenty of time for helping the kids with their homework or relax and unwind from a long day at work.
