deliciously healthy family dinner

As usual our family dinners turn out healthy and quite yummy to boot. Today's had a few experiments and both scored high on my "yum-scale". First were marinated grilled sirloin kebabs served over a green salad.
I marinated chunks of fat trimmed sirloin steak in this super simple sauce for almost 2 hrs:
1/3 c balsalmic vinegar
2 tbs. olive oil
thyme, black pepper, and cayanne to your liking.
Second was the amazing peach pie my mom and i cocreated. The recipe stems back from somewhere in my family and calls for apricots. But because apricots are so damn expensive i chose to dick around and try it out with peaches instead. The tapioca makes the inside gooey but not overly sweet or sticky. perfecto!

Apricot (or peach) PIE!
