Happy Monday!  How was your weekend?  I hope it was as good as mine!  Parks and I flew back from Georgia on Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with daddy.  We played in the sprinkler, Canean cooked dinner for me (grilled BBQ crabs and oysters Rockefeller...whhhatttt!)  He definitely spoiled me this weekend and I took full advantage!   Today I'll be back in the kitchen and catching up on a week from being out of town.   Anytime I have busy weeks like this I am always looking for easy meals that taste amazing.  My ultimate steakhouse-style salad is one of those wow salads that you totally could have as a meal alone or you can serve alongside a juicy steak!  Your choice!

I don't know about you, but whenever I have steak I always want a crisp salad to go alongside it!  I crave that crisp lettuce, tangy blue cheese, and smoky bacon to pair perfectly with my steak.  I actually rarely go out to a steakhouse, because first of all...I grill up a pretty mean steak myself, and secondly we have a baby who goes to bed by 7:30!  I mean who wants to eat steak at 5:00? 

By creating this steakhouse style salad at home, I can promise you that you won't even miss the restaurant!  This salad is perfect for any date night at home or if you are entertaining guests at your house!  Everyone will be so amazed at just how tasty this salad really is!  But honestly you could prep a few of the ingredients in advance and make this steakhouse salad any night of the week, which is what I love to do!

You can find the full recipe and tutorial over on eHow so that you can make this incredible restaurant quality salad right in your own kitchen!

I hope your week is starting out right and I hope you make this salad in the very near future!
