Beef

Black bean and quinoa chili is so hearty and filling and good for you. The reason it is so good is because the base of the chili is from my friend Nicole’s black bean and quinoa burger recipe. This black bean and quinoa mixture is great not only for burgers, but I’ll be making several dishes from this filling this week.  While I love meal...

There is something so comforting about chopping veggies on a Sunday afternoon to make beef bolognese. Because I used Butcher Box ground beef (80/20) it is high quality and has such a richness flavor, you don’t need to use much, there is only 8 ounces of beef for 10 half cup servings. This sauce is so rich and delicious. Don’t be afraid to use 6...

We are at the point of winter where one foot is still in cold weather, but we can see spring in the horizon.  This beef and carrots with gravy dish is perfect for this time of year. Next time you go grocery shopping, look for beef chuck boneless eye steak.  It’s super economical at around $4 – $5 a pound.  It does have a bit...

My next column for The Daily Herald is going to be these Salisbury Steak Meatballs. I have to thank my WW friend Jim for the hookup. Almost a year ago, Jim asked if I would like to contribute to the local paper in their food column.  The immediate answer was “of course!”  He said there was no pay, and my immediate answer was “of course!”...

 When my husband was alive, our Friday night conversations went like this:  Me: “Hey honey, I am meal planning.  What do you feel like having this week?”  Hubs: “I don’t care.”  Me: “Really?  You don’t have a taste for anything?”  Hubs: “Nope, whatever you make is fine.”  While I loved that conversation because that meant I could fix whatever I wanted, when it came time...

This post will help you be able to cook a tomahawk steak at home like a pro, pinky swear. No Labor Day Weekend would be complete without grilling up some meat. Mariano’s had Tomahawks steaks on sale for $16 a pound! What Is A Tomahawk Steak? A Tomahawk steak is essentially a ribeye. What makes it so expensive is how it is cut, and you...

My friend Bobby from FlavCity has SO many recipes.  I got his keto cookbook last year and I made a few dishes right off the bat. But like most things in life, it got put to the side and I recently rediscovered it. I made his Spicy Beef Lettuce Cups – I followed his recipe exactly for the beef filling (sans onions!) and made a...

These Asian Meatballs are going to be going straight on the list of things to make soon! With everything that is going on in the world, I did a poll on my Instagram about what types of recipes you want to see, and the surprising response was making take-out dishes at home. I loved the idea of using the new calorie-free @Truvia Sweet Complete™ to...

Pizza burger bombs.  Holy yum.  It’s like the best of both worlds – pizza and burgers! I saw on Twisted about all the different “pizza” things you can do and one of them was a burger wrapped in pizza dough.  What the what?  I had to do a quick grocery shop yesterday for some other recipes I am developing this weekend, and ground beef was...

I love nothing more on a Sunday morning then being in my kitchen, chopping veggies and cooking pasta sauce for the week.  That rich tomatoey smell is intoxicating and part of me wished I had a loaf of bread to toast up, slather with butter and dip in the sauce. But I kind of ate like an asshole this weekend.  I recipe developed four recipes...
