Hi Traci,
I am not sure if you wanted a recipe for the cube steak, when you asked about tips. However, in case you do, here is a good one. I just got home and read your post -so you may have already made your meal by now. If not -or if you want to use the recipe another time, here it is.
For dessert, why not make an easy, Bisquick cobbler? I have several recipes for cobblers made with Bisquick. Here is a simple, fast and good recipe. You can use Peach pie filling, as well as the cherry or blueberry. Your meal sounds yummy! Enjoy! AtlantaPat 
Country Fried Cube Steak with Gravy
4 cube steaks, about 1 pound
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 cup finely crushed saltines, about 20 to 25 crackers
3 tablespoons shortening
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
Combine flour and pepper in a shallow bowl. Pour buttermilk into a second shallow bowl. Put cracker crumbs into a third shallow bowl. Dredge cubed steaks in the flour, dip into the buttermilk, then coat with the cracker crumbs, pressing with hands if necessary to coat thoroughly. Melt shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for about 3 minutes on each side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Drain off most of the excess fat, leaving the dregs, or browned bits.
Add soup and milk to the skillet drippings; stirring and scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Serve steaks with the hot, creamy gravy. Cube Steak Recipe Serves 4.
