Living abundantly, celebrating faith and family.

As Mother’s Day was yesterday, I was thinking about my mom, how blessed I am to have her, and for the childhood she and my father gave me.  So, feeling quite nostalgic, I  decided to share a recipe from my childhood.  I have not had Swiss Steak in years. I have memories of my mom making it.  Today I came across a very simple – four ingredient version and thought it would be a great recipe to share.  I do not know about you, but the school year is coming to an end and my schedule is so busy.   So, once again, I am looking for quick and easy, and since this one brings back fond childhood memories, I like it even more.

Swiss Steak

• 2 pounds round steak
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 Tbsp oil
• 2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) stewed tomatoes

Flour steak and brown in oil.  Remove from skillet and drain oil.  Pour 1 can of tomatoes in skillet.  Place steak on top and pour remaining can of tomatoes on steak.   Cover and simmer.  Serve with mashed potatoes – at least that is what my mom served with her Swiss steak.  

Thanks Mom, for all you have done and continue to do.  Thank you for always having a hot meal on the table for our family, and making it look easy.  Now, as a mom, I realize how hard it really is – providing a hot home- cooked meal every night.  You did it and never complained.  Thanks mom.  I love you!

Below is a picture of us kids with mom, all ready for church.  And yes, my sister and I are identical twins.  I am the one on the left.
