Garlic and Rosemary Beef Tips

The fridge is looking pretty bare. I HATE grocery shopping with a passion! No, seriously, I hate it more than baking. I didn’t plan on cooking today. I’m still in Birthday mode. By the way, thank you so much for all of the birthday love you’ve sent my way! I felt all special and whatnot.
