Ingredients: 2 large onions, peeled and cut lengthwise into 6 wedges, leaving root ends intact; 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1/4 cup fresh lime juice; 2 pounds skirt steak, halved crosswise; 2 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper; 18 flour tortillas; 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves; 1 cup salsa (homemade or store-bought).

Prepare grill for cooking. Thread onions onto skewers (or put in grill basket), then brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for three-to-four seconds), grill onions, turning occasionally, until tender, 16-to-20 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, cut onions into 1-inch pieces and toss with vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. While onions are grilling, stir together lime juice and remaining teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons oil in a shallow dish, then add steak and marinate at room temperature, turning once, 10 minutes. Pat steak dry, then rub with pepper.
Grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, 6-to-10 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board, then let stand 5 minutes before cutting diagonally into thin slices. While steak is standing, toast tortillas directly on grill rack, turning once, until puffed slightly and browned in spots, about 1 minute total. Serve steak, onions, cilantro and a spoonful of salsa all wrapped in tortillas.

Cook's note: If you aren't able to grill, onions (no need to skewer) and steak can be cooked in a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, and tortillas can be toasted over gas (hold with tongs) or directly on top of electric burners. Cut skirt steak into pieces to fit in grill pan and grill in batches without crowding.

Cooking For Kids

A diet book handed to your children when they are 45 and fat, will be too late.

That is why I, Ondi Shepperson RN, mother and rancher, have written Cooking for Kids. Cooking for kids is written for you, the homemaker. as a learning tool for nutrition education to teach the children and teens in your life how to eat right. Because, no one in this world is going to care for them like you do.

Cooking for kids is brought to you by the Western Wellness Institute at www.breakthedietcycle.com, operated in conjunction with a private family owned cattle ranch South of Cody Wyoming.

Cooking for Kids is your source for easy and quick dinner ideas from ranches across the Cowboy State. Where good wholesome food is a way of life. And where nutrition, for hard working cowboys and girls of all ages, is often the only disease prevention that they will take the time for.

Cooking for Kids, encourages the reader to look at your own diet history across your lifespan. Why you eat what we eat. What your parents were taught about nutrition. What they have invoked upon you, and what you have and are teaching your children about nutrition today.

I welcome you into my world of cooking for kids, where you are given simple reminders that food is a primary necessity and secondarily a treat. And eating is the perpetual effect of dieting. For the downloadable PDF eBook, Cooking for Kids, visit www.breakthedietcycle.com/healthycooking_kids.html

Mealtime is not always divine, at least at our house it’s not. Sometimes the lettuce is brown on the edges. But, it is there. And everyone gets some, and rarely without my Granddaddy’s “you’ll get the scurvy” story.

Food is comforting. And is and should be the focal point of the day. Meal time is the climax, the focal pint of the day for adults, teens and children alike. Nothing warms the body and the soul like a bowl of soup.

Mealtime shared around the table , not only symbolizes the anchor of the family.
It is the anchor of family dynamics.
Now this is a huge job, a responsibility, for those of us as home makers.
Cooking for Kids, is not another weight loss, nor diet book. Cooking for Kids is a cooking book with ideas and nutrition information to bring readers one step closer to healthier living, diet free.
