Marinated Skirt Steaks and Lots of Veggies

Yesterday we had one of our son's friends over for a sleepover, and he's a hungry guy so we decided to make a lot of food for dinner. Besides, I felt like cooking - lately it's been harder to spend time on cooking due to our move to the new home. It takes a lot of time to get settled in and get everything unpacked. I went a bit overboard on the side dishes, in fact I made so many that I forgot to take the Avocado-Cucumber salad from the fridge and put it on the table. Never mind, it will taste good today as well! I took some beef skirt steaks from the freezer the day before and marinated them which worked really well (recipe can be found here). Then we cooked some asparagus in butter and steamed some broccoli. If you think steamed broccoli is boring, try adding some Sauce Bearnaise - heaven! It's not something people eat much in today's fat-phobic society but things are changing, the world is waking up and realizing that butter is healthy. Butternut squash is coming back in season now at the farmers market so I baked it with sweet potato and a bit of onion. I also sauteed up some zucchini and other veggies but that recipe needs some more work so you'll get it another time. 
For dessert: Olive oil ice cream with berries. You might think that this was a lot of calories but all I had the whole day before dinner was bulletproof coffee.

    When we started transitioning to Paleo, we also started the tradition to have an extra special dinner on Saturdays. This is the day where we spend extra effort on cooking something exciting because we have more time and we typically shop big on Farmer's market so we have everything fresh.  It's generally the only day of the week that we have dessert.
