From time to time, people have said I'm a good cook. But I think of it more as finding good recipes. Recipes that don't have super complex ingredients and deliver good flavor. I enjoy the search. For the last few years, we typically will get a bulk order of beef from a friend that raises steers. We are going to eat beef and it's our modest effort to buy local and lessen the impact. When you buy in bulk, you end up with some cuts of beef that can be a bit tougher to turn into something yummy that the family will enjoy. So I'm often searching for new recipes for those cuts and a thick and lean Sirloin Tip Roast can be in that category. We are approaching that bulk purchase time of year again so I'm trying to empty out the freezer and decided I'd pull said roast from the freezer and look up a recipe.

For full disclosure, I purchased this book because I know the author. Jennifer Teske is my cousin's wife and I wanted to support her efforts on her first book. With that said, here are my thoughts. The book can be purchased on Amazon.
I think the author does a nice job explaining her background on the topic as well as weaving her personal story into the book to help the reader understand the author's mindset. She also provides some nice, simple and relatable steps you can take to foster your own growth.
One of my biggest takeaways from the book was a concept I had never really considered until I read this book. The author explains we are often focused on goals that we need to achieve and the steps needed to get there. However, we are rarely looking at improving our own self as a step in that process. Essentially, it's important to focus on improving yourself as an important step to achieving any goals.
Ultimately, it's a pretty easy read that I found helpful. If you are interested in ways to help bring your goals into focus or making changes in your life and/or lifestyle, I think this book can provide some helpful steps and tips on getting there. And I'm not just saying that because I know the author 😄. I'm glad I read the book.
