Strawberry Spinach salad

I do not like salad. The only salad I would ever eat is a ceaser because it had cheese and croutons then half the lettuce is covered in dressing. I realized I had to start eating it more but I figured if I have to eat it I might as well just make it enjoyable. So I added fresh Strawberry's Almonds for a crunch then some flavors and seasonings to get all the flavor up there. Vinegar is not in my house much. But vinegar and strawberry's go good as a salad or vinaigrette. So I made this then I ate and tried it and I loved it. The flavors are great and so are the textures. I am a picky texture eater. I need to have a crunch nothing soggy but have a soft component.Then on top of that the dish has to have awesome flavor.This is a healthy easy side to make with any delightful delicious dinner and  it will add some cool flavor. I can eat this everyday and it is so easy to make I can and so can you. Trust me you Will love this my friends and family do. I got the idea at a restaurant when my mom ordered a salad just like this and it looked good (shocker for me) so I figured I should make this at home for everybody and I did. This works as a appetizer or side so you have a lot to choose from. This is so yummy and creative you will love it So enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this is love oh oh oh oh so this is love,so this is what I have been dreaming off. Cinderella just came out on blue ray dvd so I have been hearing that song on so many commercials I can memorize it. I have all three of those movies and I have seen the movies so many times I am to lazy to count. I love pork with apples especially on a Sunday night. All the herbs on the pork so really well with this cut of meat then you have apples (one of my favorite fruits) and it goes amazing it fits in like a puzzle piece with this dish. But then the maple syrup and brown sugar makes and gives a sweetness to the dish so the you have all these flavors and they go great and once it gets in your mouth it is super good. Me and my family love this dish and we have been making it for a long time and we still love it and you will too once you try this thing. You are going towant to cry when you finish this dish but do not worry just like Cinderella says make a wish and wait for it to come true and you will have more of this in less then a week because it is so amazingly good.

Ingredients-
1 tsp of tried sage
1 tsp of dried thyme
1 tsp of rosemary
1 tsp  of dried marjoram
Salt and pepper

3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup of apple juice
2/3 cup of maple syrup

Directions- 
In a small bowl, combine the sage, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, salt and pepper. 
Rub over roast. Cover, and refrigerate roast for 6 to 8 hours (or overnight.) 
Preheat oven to 325  . 
Place roast in a shallow roasting pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain fat. 
In a  bowl, mix apples and onion with brown sugar. Spoon around roast, and continue to cook for 1 hour more, or until the internal temperature of the roast is 145 degrees F . 
Transfer the roast, apples and onion to a serving platter, and keep warm. 
To make the gravy, skim excess fat from meat juices. Pour drippings into a medium heavy skillet. Stir in apple juice and syrup. 
Cook and stir over medium-high heat until liquid has been reduced by half, about 1 cup. 
Slice and serve with gravy
Serve and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beef and broccoli

I love Chinese food. For my birthday I always want that but I decided I wanted to make some myself. So I got this recipe and I will say it is really good. Not as good as the beef and broccoli at Human China house but still really good. The soy sauce helped tie in all those flavors and it gives a little salt kick to it. When you cook the beef it makes like a sauce and when you put this over the rice it soaks in and is like a master piece. Then you have the broccoli and it gets all soft and flavorful and it is the one time your kid will eat broccoli I love this dish because its easy and cheap. All my friends and family love this dish so I will bet you,yours will too. You can not have a good meat dish unless you have good meat, and this cut of beef is juicy and flavorful and really good (especially with broccoli) OMG '' flashback'' so once I made this dish and it was a busy night so we were eating late. So I had no idea what I was gonna make then it hit me. I wanted to order out Chinese food. But no body else wanted that so I made this and OMG it was to die for. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 pound of beef cut into thin slices
 Salt and pepper
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 cups of broccoli, cut
1 can of condensed cream of broccoli soup
