This Steak with Creamy Spinach & Parmesan is a simple but elegant meal that the whole family will enjoy. Perfect for your next grill out!
Last week we had this Steak with Creamy Spinach & Parmesan for dinner.
It was the perfect summer evening that overwhelmed me with gratitude.
If you have been reading for a while, you know that our family is location independent, but that for the last several years we have mostly divided our time between Florida and Arizona. While both places are perfect for Spring, Fall, and Winter, Summers have been a little rough.
The humidity in Florida just kills me. You would think that since I grew up there, I would have become used to it, but if anything it seems like it is harder to take the older I get.
Arizona feels better to me because of the dryness, but when it is 105 outside, I am certainly not planning a fun evening standing over a hot grill. The only thing I want to be doing at that point is lounging in the pool, preferably with a cold drink in hand.
This year, we are spending most of the summer in the mountains, and I pretty much feel like I won the lottery.
I am a total outside girl.

I don’t mean that I am rough and tough and have great survival skills. (Maybe someday…or not.)

What I mean is that being outside when the weather is nice is what makes me happy.
There is something about going on a short hike with the kids and coming back to make a dish like this Steak with Creamy Spinach & Parmesan that takes me to my happy place.
I love hearing them playing in the yard while I get dinner ready, and then all of us staying outside until it gets dark and the bugs drive us inside.
Simple, happy times.
I hope that your summer is filled with them too.
