Thanks for sharing--the cilantro vinaigrette sounds fabulous. And if ever there were two vegetables I like, they are tomatoes and cucumber. I will definitely have to try this. Alanna, Even the culinary bookworm doesn't read at the dinner table! And, I think your mom's rules sound great. Lisa, The texture is the kicker for me for sure with vegetables. Mushy and slimy are words that come to mind. Adrienne, What a great idea! Thanks for sharing–the cilantro vinaigrette sounds fabulous.

I wanted to let you know that I tried your steak and cilantro pesto only we did a new spin on it! With the new year, I'm "trying" to eat better... or at least fool myself into believing I'm eating better! So, last night I decided I'd shape this into steak salad for dinner and use the cilantro pesto as dressing. We had a bed of greens, tomatoes, cukes, and then I sliced the steak over the greens and tossed it with the cilantro dressing and s&p. To make the pesto a bit more liquid, we used juice from a whole lemon and about a 1/2 cup of olive oil instead. I know you're not BIG on veggies, but let me tell you, the cilantro "dressing" was fantastic with the tomatoes and cukes. So light and refreshing. A perfect complement. We can't wait to have it again! THANKS SO MUCH! Hi Jennifer.

It really is a shame, but I'm trying. I think textures bother me. Anyway, the Brussels sprouts sound really good--thanks for pointing me to the recipe. I just found one with pecans that I want to try too. Hi Jennifer–I’m with you on not loving veggies. It really is a shame, but I’m trying. I think textures bother me.

And two hoots for trying so many new things all at the same time! I do think that my Mom's table rules did contribute to my being an adventurous eater. They were "no reading at the table" (would that be the very definition of a culinary bookworm?) and "a little bite of everything, you don't have to like it, you just have to try it". And I use the same rule (well the second one) when kids visit my place. Their parents are always amazed at what they'll eat at my table! Great work!! Hi Jennifer — What a meal!!

I love cilantro... I can't believe I've never thought of pairing them together before. I've done steak with gorgonzola and with basil butter, but this cilantro pesto sounds delicious, not to mention a tad healthier. I can't wait to try it! Thanks!!!! I love steak.

I just posted on my site about brussel sprouts and I did almost the same thing as you. Bought 12 (to try) and used Bobby Flay's recipe and I ended up loving them even though I didn't think I would. (<a href="http://gourmetish.blogspot.com/2006/01/i-love-those-australian-women.html" rel="nofollow">my brussel sprouts post</a>). I'm impressed that you would try those 2 veggies given the fact that you're not a big veggie eater. Wow, that is too funny.

Whew! I'll have to give this recipe a try next time. :) Crazy - we made brussel sprouts last night too, but plain roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper didn’t quite do the trick for me. Whew!
