What I'm Eating... Steak w/ Tomatoes; Corn w/ Cilantro

My recent visit to the Green City Market (finally!) must have really inspired me, because lately I'm cooking up a lot of fresh, yummy meals... instead of ordering in.  Good for me, I'm patting myself on the back.

I seasoned the steak (thin slices, lighter on the stomach and the budget!) with salt and pepper, and pan-cooked them for a minute or so on each side.  Then I cooked the grape tomatoes in the same pan, also seasoned with salt & pepper, as well as fresh oregano.

I boiled the corn on the cob, then "grilled" it in the oven for a few minutes.  After removing the corn from the cob, I tossed it with the juice of a lime, red cayenne pepper (as much as you prefer), salt & pepper, and fresh cilantro.  You could serve this hot or cold -- my 'fella preferred it hot, I didn't mind one bit that mine was cold.

What I'm Eating... Basmati Rice & Spinach

I'm trying to take a fresher approach to my food, especially because I'll be back at work next week, and I need to get out of my bad (lazy) habits.  So... I made basmati rice, and spinach sauteed with fresh ginger.  It wasn't the best thing I've ever eaten by a long stretch, but it tasted so clean.  I coupled this with a hot mug of lemon water.  Yup, just hot water and lemon, no sugar.

Decorate, Eat & Repeat

Now I want to come up with ideas for lunches I can bring to work that I won't have to re-heat in the microwave there (I've got something against microwaves).
