Ever feel this way? Ya just wanna have a BBQ but you’re too tired to coordinate all the details?
Well, at least there’s hope for us lazy grillers yet. See, I order my meat online and it just shows up at my door.
It’s like magic. Only it’s really the Internet.
Try it! At least you can check ONE thing off your list! It’s springtime, baby!

It’s springtime. That means warmer weather, SHORTS (!) and being outside.
That makes me so happy!
It also means I feel the urge to eat lighter. Something about sunny days (maybe it’s the desire to not look like a blob in lighter clothes) makes me want to consume lighter fare.
These delicious steaks certified by the American Heart Association to be extra lean are a good way to tame my cravings, but perhaps a bit more delicately.
They’re heart healthy and satisfying without the feeling of a heavy meal.
Absolutely perfect!

The beauty of being a steak lover is that there are so many cuts to love. And all for different reasons.
Let’s chat, ladies and gents, about all there is to love about the one and only Top Sirloin.
Top Sirloin is definitely in my Top 3 because it’s a versatile cut that’s lean and firm.
It’s cut from the center of the sirloin (check out that fancy graphic above) and is muy delicioso as a sandwich steak.
Top Sirloin steaks are also great for grilling. They hold up really well on the grill and come out so flavorful.
Okay, my mouth is watering now.
What’s your favorite cut of steak? Where does the Top Sirloin rank for you?

Maybe you’ve seen the ads for this bacon mouthwash. What’s the verdict – do you think it’s an April Fool’s Day joke?
I mean, I love bacon, but honestly I usually use mouthwash AFTER I’ve had bacon. At the same time? Nah.
I would be tempted to try it. You know, for society’s sake and all.
What do you think? If it’s a real product, will you buy it?
This guy is a little scary but I like the way he thinks!
Steak for Easter dinner sounds absolutely fabulous. Steak? Prime rib? Ham? What are you having?
However you celebrate it this weekend, I hope your holiday is wonderful!

It’s really cool when people get creative with beef. But this creativity goes beyond a unique mix of herbs, spices or sauces. These burgers inspired by famous people are something I would never come up with in a million years.
And that rocks.
The one you see above is the Pope Francis burger. Amazing, right?
You can see all the burger creativity at FatandFuriousBurger.com.
What will your favorite be? Or maybe you have an idea for a new one?
Have fun expressing yourself through burgers!

In this article, the University of Kentucky’s men’s basketball coach laments his team’s restrictions on food put on them by the NCAA.
The team – and all NCAA teams – must adhere to the strict three meals a day rule and no more. His players are going hungry!
Imagine burning 2,500 calories a pop and not being able to refuel your body if it’s not a set mealtime. Elite athletes don’t work this way!
Folks, we can’t change the NCAA rules but we can eat for our teams, right?
That’s how I look at it. As I watch the NCAA Tournament games this weekend I’ll be fueling up for those guys.
It’s the least I can do. But, really, I wish I could send them a big Porterhouse (see above). Surely that would get them through!
But, apparently, that would be like buying them a car according to the rules. Don’t want to violate any rules.
What do you think? Should the rules be changed to allow players to eat when their bodies need it? They’re starving!
