Five-Spice London Broil

Well so far so good. I have lost 7.4 lbs since January 1st. I wanted to share this recipe with you because it's good dieting or not. I served the left overs on a salad. Yummy

Weight Watchers Recipe
Prep time: 6 min
Cook time: 14 min
Serves: 4


Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Durkee ground cumin, or other brand
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
16 oz uncooked lean beef round, (1-pound) London broil, trimmed of all visible fat
Instructions

Spray a broiler rack with canola oil nonstick spray; preheat the broiler.

Combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, pepper, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place the steak on a sheet of wax paper and sprinkle both sides with the spice mixture; let stand about 15 minutes.

Broil the steak 5 inches from the heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°F for medium-rare, 5–7 minutes on each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand about 10 minutes. Slice thinly on an angle against the grain into 12–16 slices. Yields 3–4 slices of steak per serving.

If you prefer your steak more well done, broil it until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°F for medium, about 1 minute longer on each side.

Birthday Cards for my coworkers

When Lorraine posted these on the Cricut Circle I knew these would be perfect for our birthday gift from our Sunshine Committee. I am still using my stash but did have to buy the candles which with my 40% off Coupon were 2.99. These are about half of what we will need for the whole year but will give us a good start.
Here's the link to Lorraines video if you want to make your own.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeY8TgyyflE&feature=plcp&context=C3ce9c2cUAOEgsToPDskLG3IpDCAKIcgNbV1h-up_j

I have been so lucky lately.

First I won the Art Philosphy set and now I won $110 worth of stamps from Robyn over on My Pink Stamper. The stamps came today and I can't wait to use them.
