Veal Flank Stew and Spring Salad

I bought some veal flank meat and thought a stew would be nice....but as Spring is here, pairing it with a fresh salad would be even nicer.

Stew:
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Veal flank
Onion
Garlic
Cumin
Paprika
Sugar
Sriracha
BBQ Sauce
Ketchup
Tomato Paste
Various herbs that seemed to smell good together

Salad:
Spring Greens
Naval Orange cut to bite sizes
Chopped Almonds

Dressing:
Olive Oil
Grainy mustard
Honey
Lemon Juice

Fennel Broccoli and Orange Salad

It's not quite Spring...but we wanted something fresh and summery to brighten all the gloominess of Winter. So...threw together a yummy salad to enjoy:

Fennel
Broccoli
Orange
Cilantro
Pine nuts

Dressing:
Olive Oil
Honey
Wine vinegar
Grainy mustard

Cold remedy: Steamed Orange

It's that season....the cough, the sneezes and sniffles...bleh. My Aunt introduced a yummy little remedy that includes steaming an orange with some sea salt (has to be sea salt or natural rock salt and not the chemically produced table salt stuff.)

Sea salt (about a teaspoon? Sprinkle on top of the cut surface. Steam the orange with the "cap" on top then eat everything inside, including the pith.)
Orange



I found it really soothes the throat...and each time I had it, it seemed to cause the phlegm in my lungs to loosen a bit more. This results in a coughing fit until I can cough it up but certainly I feel WAY better after I do. I'm sure the extra vitamin C can't hurt either.

For anyone who's sick...get well soon!
