Beef

Kansas is in a serious drought.  In the last 12 months they should have had 30 inches of rain, but they have only had 11 inches since last July.  Water is life to a cattle farmer, not only for the land but for the cattle too.  As we drove by acres of corn, you could see the tops of the corn curled inward to protect...

What a whirlwind few days!  It went by so fast, but I have to say, this was such a well organized trip sponsored by Certified Angus Beef ® brand.  I was picked up by Margaret, who works for Certified Angus Beef ® brand, and she could not have been nicer.  There were four other bloggers on this trip (I’ll write about them more in detail in tomorrows blog), so...

Brand the Barn! Hey guys! I had the best weekend meeting new friends, eating beef and witnessing the 16th of 40 barns being branded with the Certified Angus Beef logo. I’ll post more in the coming days. Happy Tuesday – I’m coming home 🏡 In the meantime, check out this beef crostini I made – so good!

Pan Seared Chuck Roast with Onion Rings You will love this pan seared chuck roast with onion rings. Yes, you read that correctly, I made onion rings!       “Biz, you can’t make a chuck roast on a weeknight right when you get home!”  But I am here to tell you that yes, yes you can!  A chuck roast can go by many names...

I can’t remember the last time I had pancakes.  I normally almost always opt for a savory breakfast, but these pancakes are not overly sweet.  These are my Premier Protein pancakes.  I subbed in a chocolate shake for the bananas and cream one, and I didn’t have any bananas, so left that out, so added two eggs.  You can find the recipe here.  Each pancake...

I thought I hit my snooze on Saturday morning, but turns out, I turned it off and woke up late.  I missed my Weight Watchers meeting, but I weighed in at home – down 1.4 this past week!  One more weigh in for April – I think I have to lose 1.8 to lose 5 pounds in April.   Saturday was a Mom/Grandma/Daughter Day.  We met...

Knowing I was going to Cooking Club last night, I keep my eats to a minimum during the day.  I really loved this picky plate – hard boiled eggs with Tabasco sriracha, sliced Fuji apple and two teaspoons of reduced fat Jif – 2 points. 😀 I hit up a salad bar to accessorize my pasta – every time I eat a a salad I...

Avocados have been expensive and not that great lately, so thank goodness for Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie packs.  They are three points, creamy and delicious, and super quick to make avo/egg toast for breakfast.  I just cooked egg whites in a bowl at home and then chopped it up and put it on my toast with the guacamole.  So delish.  And this mango?  So good!! ...

I get offers for free stuff just about every day.  Most of the time I just say no thank you – I don’t need to try your new straw, or artificial sweetener that you only need to use a drop to sweeten a whole batch of muffins.  But I stopped in my tracks when I saw that Pit Barrel asked if I wanted to try...

I love, love the flavors of this stew - the tang of the Dijon mustard, the saltiness from the Worcestershire sauce, the tender meat and flavorful cooked carrots - It's a hug in a bowl if you ask me.
