Make it Monday [Balsamic Glazed Steak & Vegetable Wrap with Goat Cheese]

Balsamic Glazed Steak & Veggie Wrap
This wrap was inspired by my new love of goat cheese with anything glazed in balsamic. I had something similar at Corner Bakery a few months ago and I've been playing around with the combinations since then.

When I served this for dinner my husband said it was a restaurant quality meal. A huge compliment!

How to make it:

Make it Monday [Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese]

I got this recipe from good old Martha Stewart... I changed up a few ingredients and finished it in the slow cooker but its basically her recipe.

Her version is here.

Its been WAY too hot around here to even think about turning on the oven so I have to be creative with our dinners. I know its September but apparently Orange County hasn't gotten the memo.

My husband and I enjoyed it... I'd love to tell you that my twins gobbled it up but that would be a lie. For some reason they aren't too fond of pasta dishes. I should be excited about that but sometimes easy dinners are necessary!

Anyone have any tips on getting toddlers to eat pasta? Are my kids the only crazy ones who don't eat it?
