A Real Meal Deal

February the 14th 2023, it’s Valentine’s Day! The holiday that brings flowers, chocolate covered strawberries and yummy dinners for couples everywhere. Well our house is no different with the exception of flowers. I try to make sure there are fresh flowers at least once a month at our house. They smell amazing and just brighten up the place.

The other day my wife, Andrea, came home and asked if I saw the valentine meal deal that Food City was running. I had not but was intrigued.. “go on” I say. Well turns out if was 4 items for $29.99.

We start off with the appetizer and side dish, which was bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos and twice baked potatoes. They were all prepped and ready for you to cook, both of which were 20 minutes in the oven at 375°. The main portion of the dinner was the NY strip that was at least an inch think, I mean one of these steaks alone would have cost you $25 at a restaurant. They were beautiful cuts of meat and I was excited to cook them! I slapped them with some olive oil, and then put on some wood fire garlic seasoning and fresh thyme on top.

I preheated the air fryer, yes, the air fryer. I’ll tell you, don’t knock it till you try it!! I cook quite a bit of food in mine and it turns out delicious! So after about 5 minutes I put the strips into the basket and automatically hear the sizzle begin. 400° for 10 minutes, flipping them half way, then take them out place a slab of butter on top and WOOHOO!!! Now that’s a real meal deal!! Oh the 4th item was a french bread. I applaud Food City on this deal, it was a fantastic buy and absolutely delightful for our bellies!

Happy Valentine’s Day to my wonderful, beautiful, amazing wife!! I love you!
