Yes, with a long recipe name like that it has to be from Rachael Ray.

I had been putting this recipe off for a while because I was having a hard time finding chipotle powder. Jonas finally found some at Byerly's (their own brand), so Texas T-bone steaks were on!

The steaks were great, but they got a little blacker than desired -- probably partly due to the spice rub, but next time we'd lower the heat and cook them for a longer duration. The potatoes were unbelievably spicy! Rachael Ray must have an iron stomach (and tongue!). Even Jonas, who is fond of spicy, thought they were a bit much. We'd definitely reduce the chipotle powder in the potatoes if we made them again.

Time for some goulash.

The recipe is pretty simple and straightforward, nothing fancy. In fact, it's nearly identical to the smoky turkey shepherd's pie, except for a swap of just a few ingredients. We served it over egg noodles.

Ingredients for beef goulash	Browned beef, onions, carrots and celery
Red peppers, flour and chicken broth added	Beef goulash over egg noodles

Again, a look at the name of the recipe is a Rachael Ray dead giveaway. This was a really tasty dish, although slightly too spicy for comfort. Next time, go easier on the jalapeños!

The sandwich was poached and then shredded BBQ chicken on a hamburger bun. All went well except the chicken wasn't fully cooked after poaching for the suggested amount of time, so it was difficult to shred and had to be cooked longer during the BBQ step. The potato salad was made of red peppers, jalapeños, scallions and red potatoes and was awesome! It was really fresh-looking and -tasting.

With a name like that, you know this recipe is from Ms. Rachael Ray. And let me tell you it was GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Since there are three separate components (burgers, fries, slaw) to this meal, it is a bit time-consuming. However, Julia didn't have much trouble with the timing. The steps are laid out well enough that there were no frantic moments, and it all came together smoothly.

That said, this was possibly the spiciest and most filling meal in memory!

After watching ATK one weekend afternoon, we decided to make their version of beef chili with kidney beans. It was a simple recipe, but it was an agonizing 2-hour wait while it was simmering on the stove!! As always, ATK makes a perfect meal.

This shepherd's pie recipe is from Rachael Ray's "365" cookbook (see source below). It turned out pretty good, but it wasn't WOW! I should maybe have used more salt and pepper. I find it hard to believe all this food was considered only 4 servings!

Ingredients lined up in an orderly fashion	Julia frying up the turkey bacon while potatoes are on the boil
