Beef

If my husband were still alive, this would be My Mariano’s Valentine’s Day Dinner. My late husband and I met in May and married in December, so our first Valentine’s Day was when we were already married! That first Valentine’s Day, I found a local restaurant that I wanted to try out.  The menu wasn’t too expensive, so my husband made me happy and we...

Taco potato skins bring back so many memories and I am so happy to have a healthy version to share with you! I worked in a bar in my early 20’s.  On Wednesday nights I worked the kitchen to give our only cook one night off a week.  He was the Uncle of the owner of the bar, and he drank Heineken and shots of...

I had lunch with a lovely woman from Instagram.  She follows me and lives in Arizona but was visiting her son and his family and wanted to meet up – if my schedule allows, I almost always say yes! We went to The Dearborn, which has one of my top 5 burgers in the city.  Isn’t that burger glorious?!   But I didn’t get that –...

One of the questions I get asked often is how I keep my grocery budget so low.  Well, one way is buying meat in my beloved meat bin – I probably save $20 a week on that tip alone, but I know not everyone is lucky as I am.  I bought filet mignon – a 1.25 pound package for $6 last week. So here is...

All opinions are my own.” Happy Labor Day!  I cannot believe how fast this summer went by.  Seems like it was just Memorial Day and here we are in September!  I know everyone is trying to grasp onto summer as long as possible,...

There seems like a lot of steps in this jalapeno popper burger, but promise this is a 20 minute dinner at most. So good and only 8 smart points.

Certified Angus Beef ® brand is a cut above other beef - their attention to detail is amazing and you can tell in every delicious bite.

These beef and potato sliders are perfect for lunch or dinner! It was a rainy day yesterday, which I actually don’t mind on a Monday.  It rained when I was inside, not on the street, so that worked out! I made an oatmeal/yogurt parfait – I made 1/2 cup of dry oats to 1 cup of water and microwaved for two minutes while I got...

Who needs a bun? Make my mini beef sliders with zucchini buns - so good!
