I’m fairly certain I’m not the only one here that has family that includes picky eaters. Personally, I’ll try almost anything and I love fruits and vegetables, although I don’t always eat them as often as I should. My husband, on the other hand, is the pickiest eater of them all. His diet basically consists of meat, potatoes, pasta, and dessert – no fruit, no vegetables (other than the potatoes). My children don’t have a very expansive list of foods they will eat, but there are at least some fruits/veggies on them. My son definitely takes after my husband and I can’t count the amount of times I’ve heard ‘I don’t like that’ before they’ve even tried a bite. My daughter is more like me and will at least try something. Tonight was one of those nights she tried something new. Tonight I made Lemon Garlic Butter Steak with Zucchini Noodles (you can find the recipe I used here: https://www.eatwell101.com/garlic-butter-steak-and-zucchini-noodles-recipe). While mine wasn’t as pretty as the picture, it tasted amazing. When you get a thumbs up from your three year old daughter and she says ‘that’s really good’, it’s a good feeling knowing she is loving food that is good for her. It’s hard getting kids to eat and like healthy food, especially when you have a kiddo that likes to eat sweets and junk. I try not to keep too much in the house since I’m trying to lose weight, but that is what the husband eats, so it makes it a little more difficult.

While the food was really good, I would make a couple modifications to the recipe. It seemed way too oily, so I would definitely cut back on that. I would even add a little more sriracha to the marinade. If you don’t like the heat, you can cut back on that and the red pepper flakes. You can definitely taste the lemon in this too. If you don’t like lemon, cut back on it. It could use more garlic though, the amount the recipe called for wasn’t enough for me. Another thing to note is that it definitely takes more than 15 minutes from start to finish, so the title is a little misleading. First off, you have the marinate the steak for 30 minutes and then you’re supposed to let it sit and get to room temp before cooking, plus you have to spiralize 4 zucchini. So unless you’re a super chef with the ability to stop time, it’s not going to happen in 15 minutes. Total I think it took more like an hour for me. Overall it was a really good recipe and I would make it again.
