Before I get on to our delicious steak, even though I didn’t feel like it, I ended up doing Level 3 of Day 26 of 30 day shred! Would you like to see how my dog helps me?
![p4260021 Yep, he laid right in front of my mat!! As soon as I started jumping jacks, he quickly exited the room!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/p4260021.jpg)
None of the pictures of the blue cheese sauce turned out very well – see what I mean?
![p42600261 it was delicious though!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/p42600261.jpg)
Mushroom Blue Cheese Sauce
- 1 tsp. oil
- 3 ounces chopped mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup fat free half and half
- 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- cracked pepper
Cook mushrooms in oil until softened. Add broth, half and half and cracked pepper. Cook over medium-low heat until sauce begins to thicken. Off heat add blue cheese until it slightly melts. Spoon over grilled steak.
![p4260024 I got this giant sirloin steak for only $4.23! Tony and I split this, and I still have 1/3 of it leftover](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/p4260024.jpg)
![p4260033 3 ounces of steak, about 2 tablespoons of cheese sauce, 4 ounce baked potato, 1 tablespoon fat free sour cream, 1 tablespoon bacon bits and one slice of my cheese bread](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/p4260033.jpg)
I made another batch of the artisan bread – this time with yeast that was fresh!
![p4260027 so simple, yet so good!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/p4260027.jpg)
![p4260028 perfect every time!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/p4260028.jpg)
And then with the rest of the dough I decided to make a sesame bread for my Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for later in the week – this only took about 24 minutes to bake.
![p4260038 I think this will make amazing sammies!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/p4260038.jpg)
I am still working on the pasta sauce from my deluxe tomato purchase – the problem with making sauce from scratch is that you never know how your tomatoes will be – this batch is on the sour side, so I may have to add cooked carrots to try to make the sauce sweeter.
Off to watch t.v. with Tony – Celebrity Apprentice is our guilty t.v. pleasure! See you tomorrow!
Yum! There is nothing like a BIG steak and blue cheese mushrooms!
