Beef

I’ve had this glitty tank top for over a year and this is only the second time I’ve worn it.  Why?  Because I thought it brought too much attention to me.  I always worry about my muffin top, but you know what?  As my friend Shelley says “when you are in your 50s, you can do whatever you want!”  So I wore it, and guess...

Even though these sous vide bites don’t look that appetizing – they are delish!  Light, fluffy.  I did have several people make them yesterday (who knew so many people had the silicone muffin cups!) and here are a couple tips so they cook in the 20 minutes – make sure that the water bath line is 3/4 up the side of the muffin cup –...

I did something that I haven’t done on a holiday in a really long time – I started it out at the gym!  I know, I could hardly believe it myself.  The kadults and I didn’t really work out our holiday meal plan until . . . yesterday morning.  I knew my proteins were going to be whole slow cooked chicken and a bone in...

After I put this ricotta toast together, I had to stop by a co-workers desk to talk to her about something.  Her first response was “what is that?”  I explained what it was and she said “I love ricotta cheese!”  I brought extra today so I can have her taste how good this is.  But her second question was “where did you buy that?!”  So...

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I called my father-in-law to wish him a Happy Father’s Day, and called my step-son Joe – this is his fourth Father’s Day with his Dad.  Tony loved grey goose, and while Joe has tried in the past to do a grey goose on the rocks in honor of his Dad on Father’s Day, we both can’t stand...

After a long day beginning with the feed yard at Tiffany Cattle Co., lunch at the Blythe home, the pasture tour of the property and the delicious dinner, by 9:30 we were all ready for bed.  We stayed at the Carriage House in Counsil Grove, Kansas.  How cute is this B&B?! And if I wasn’t so tired, I would have definitely hung out in this...

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...
