Enjoy the nostalgia . . . and the fashion.

How Do You Like Your Steak?

By

This photo chart from the Sheraton Hotel in Akron, Ohio, is a helping hand for guests when deciding how they want their steak cooked.

It also might serve as a subliminal message to, in fact, order a steak. It sure makes ME crave one!

So cool! I’m thinking of framing this and putting it over my mantel. Yum.

I found this online steak guide on Pinterest. I’ve said it before — if you haven’t yet checked that site out . . . DO IT! It’s so entertaining!

Happy cooking, everybody!

Beefy 12 Month Plan

By

I’m thinking this might be for me. It might take all the guesswork out of meal planning and ensure that I have something tasty on hand at all times.

It’s a 12 Month Plan with pretty awesome choices like Beef Wellington, T-bones, Prime Rib Roast, Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon…

But…I am going to send them to myself. It’s a gift to myself that will keep on giving.

Seems like a smart way to make sure I’m ready to go with some amazing menu items. I’m all about making life easier for myself this year and this seems like a great option.

Pre-planning. What a concept! I wish I had fully embraced it before. I might have saved myself a whole lot of heartache – and scrambling. Check it out here if you want to try it, too.

Here’s to a less-harried 2012!!!

Beef Bucks on “Wheel of Fortune”

By

I LOVE “Wheel of Fortune” and, well, I LOVE beef.

So imagine my absolute glee that next week on “Wheel of Fortune” one of the gift tags when contestants spin that big wheel will be $1,000 in Beef Bucks!

What are Beef Bucks, you may ask?

They’re checks or VISA gift cards that may be redeemed at lots of great places for purchases of – you guessed it – beef! Beef Bucks is a non-profit organization set up to promote the beef industry. So cool!

You can read more about Beef Bucks here and read about the “Wheel of Fortune” appearance here.

What fun!

I’m all for this Beef Bucks idea. Spread the joy, I say!

So watch “Wheel” next week and cheer for those contestants to win lots of Beef Bucks!

Steak Socks

By

Looking for something to buy with that AmEx gift card you got for the holidays from Aunt Flo?

This may be it.

You totally need these steak-themed socks to subtly show your love of all things beef.

Aunt Flo couldn’t have chosen a gift so perfect for you. Thank goodness she let YOU do that yourself.

Now start thinking about the perfect outfit in your closet that is just begging for the finishing touch of these socks!

Strip Steak to Ring in the New Year

By

Get ready to welcome 2012!

To me, the best way to celebrate ANYTHING is with a steak. In fact, that’s what I will be doing Saturday night.

In this great article by the great Wolfgang Puck he refers to the strip steak as “beef’s equivalent to the tuxedo, clean-lined and elegant.”

THAT, he says, is the way to ring in the new year.

And I couldn’t agree more.

Click here to read Puck’s descriptive tale of the beautiful strip and take special note of his recipe for roasted strip steak with port wine mustard sauce.

Any time you can get your hands on a Wolfgang Puck recipe, you know it’s going to be good!

Have a wonderful new year celebration and I’ll catch you again in 2012 — after you’ve enjoyed an AMAZING strip steak!

Steaky Holiday Gift

By

I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend – whatever holiday you celebrate.

And I hope you receive one of the above goodies. Strawberry-flavored steak treats – or perhaps bacon?

You’ve been good all year, right?

Wait, if you’ve been good does that mean you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT receive this?

I’m confused.

In any case, have a happy, happy weekend filled with joy surrounded by the ones you love.

That’s universal.

Christmas Steak

By

Steak is perfect for ANY meal – even Christmas dinner.

Apparently, Uncle Eddie (of Uncle Eddie’s Theory Corner) thinks so, too.

Here, he gives us explicit instructions on how to make the best Christmas Steak Dinner EVER.

He uses ribeyes in his recipe which makes him A-OK in my book. Enjoy Uncle Eddie’s facial expressions and descriptions, too. He’s a hoot!

And after you click here to see Uncle Eddie’s tips, let me know how your Christmas steak turns out!
