I had a good time at the Elizabeth City farmers market this Saturday. I have to work tonight, but I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to eat some of my finds so I made this quick, indulgent, but healthy lunch.
Ingredients:
3 ounces lean steak
5 asparagus spears
3 small (golf ball size) new potatoes
1/2 cup strawberries, caps removed and halved
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat grill on high. Meanwhile wash potatoes and poke with a fork. Microwave potatoes for 4 minutes on high. Snap the woody ends off of the asparagus. Put the steak, asparagus and cooked potatoes on a plate and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Put these ingredients on the grill. Cook steak to desired doneness, being careful not to move it around too much. For example, for a well done steak, grill 2-5 minutes this rotate 45 degrees and grill another 2-5 minutes. Flip the meat over and repeat. Even a well done steak should not be moved more than four times.
Remove items from the grill and allow to rest under a loose foil tent for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with strawberries.

Strawberry Pork Lettuce Wraps
The hold up with posting a lot of my recipes is getting pictures of them. I take pictures, but they are often out of focus. My brother-in-law, William Jones, has agreed to help me in this area, so I'm sorry, but a picture of this one will have to come later.
Strawberry Pork Lettuce Wraps
I love my slow cooker, but it often gets relegated to storage in the summer because my family, friends, and I tend not to crave the hardy warm foods that it produces during the hottest months. This dish, along with my North Carolina Barbeque recipes, gets my slow cooker out of storage to make a wonderful summer meal. The strawberries melt into the pork, making it tastey and moist.
Ingredients:
2 cups strawberries, caps removed
1 to 2 pounds lean pork roast
1 head lettuce, washed and cored with leaves separated
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flake (optional)
In a slow cooker, combine strawberries, pork, salt and pepper, and red pepper flake if using. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Use a fork to shred the tender cooked pork. Serve with lettuce. Allow diners to scoop a small amount of filling in a lettuce leaf, roll, and eat. Serve with fresh fruit and crunchy vegetables like shredded cabbage and carrots.
