Rib Eye Steak

So after my boyfriend made some steak for me, I stole some of his techniques. 0;] But I added a kick to it! I did a quick search online for recipes and found some. I didn't really like the portions and ingredients so I just merged them. It turned out super juicy and no steak sauce needed! :D

Ingredients
Rib Eye
Butter
Kosher Salt
Pepper
Onion Salt
Garlic Salt
Paprika
Garlic (as many cloves, depending on how much you like garlic)
Onion
Parsley
Mushroom

Directions
1. Make sure steak is thawed/room temperature
2. Preheat grill
3. Melt butter
4. Make rub: 1 tsp kosher, 1 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp onion salt, 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp paprika; mix well!
5. Take melted butter and lather on steak, then sprinkle rub on top. Don't be afraid to throw on extras :D
6. Repeat on the other side
7. Cook on grill for 3 1/2 minute on each side, or until desired
8. Plate steak and cover with foil lightly (shiny side down)
9. Grill mushrooms while you wait for the foil to cook the meat (about 3 more minutes)
10. Remove foil, sprinkle parsley, plate mushroom, and bone petite!



Picture looks a little messy because I had to cut half for my aunt before I could take a picture /)_-

Forever 21!

I gravitate towards the basic look nowadays. I like to accessorize and add to my plain outfits to make it my own! :D

Tweed Trim Tank $26 - Military style with a touch of femininity! I know this is a little pricey for a shirt but pair them with solid leggings and heels and this makes a nice little outfit! :P




Floral Sponge Tank $12.80 - This top is made out of thin fabric so more air for your skin! I sweat a lot so this is good news for me o'-'o You can wear these with denim shorts or a colorful skirt.



Solid Pleat Front Dress $10.50 - I'm guilty! /)_(\ I have this color and one in gray. This is so comfortable and the top is an off the shoulder type! I paired this with an off white belt.



Ponte Capsleeve Dress $11.50 - I have this and one in black! It is very versatile! When worn alone, it's casual. If you pair it with a belt and stockings! It makes a big difference! And it can also be worn in the office!

RAMEN!!!



My bf and I decided to try ramen at Shin Sen Gumi! Haha yes yes I know we are behind on what's hip /)_- but we were sooo disappointed! We got spicy miso broth and everything was so bland! I rather eat the instant noodles! I kept telling my bf I can make something better than this! Sooo the next day I set out to Marukai and bought my ingredients! He loved it (and not because it's a given -_-) but I even made some for my critical mom and she drank all the broth! :D It took me only 10 mins to make it but gathering the ingredients were a little pricey but only because I don't have any of it at home -__-

This is good for one bowl! If you have company then just multiply accordingly :P

Directions

+Boil noodles, drain, rinse with cold water, let dry
+Heat up water and broth
+After it boils, add 2 tbsp of miso paste (do not let it boil, simmer is fine)
