Momma Hen has an amazing recipe for flank steak with bacon sauce. Bacon sauce! That’s a new one for me.

Check out her recipe at Momma Hen’s Kitchen. Momma pulls no punches and this meal is no exception. It’s fierce. It’s savory. And it will put you in a new category with the people who are lucky enough to sit at your table.

Try it out! And let me know if it changes your life . . .

According to Parade magazine, “Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Laid end-to-end, the links would circle the Earth about 21.5 times.”

So my question is: If you’re going to eat THAT MANY hot dogs, why not make sure they’re the best? I ordered these babies for our beach vacation and they were a hit! They’re all beef and you can really tell.

The flavor is fantastic and the aroma made us all hungry and ready to eat. You know how really yummy things can do that to you?

Don’t get caught with less-than-desirable dogs when YOU decide to cook some up on the grill. Your neighbors (and the Earth) will thank you for it.

Now THAT’S a well-used grill!

We often have impromptu get-togethers in our backyard with the neighbors. So. . . we’ve got to keep lots of good food on hand. You know, just in case.

There are always steakburgers in our fridge or freezer and this weekend we just happened to have a bunch on the grill when our neighbors stopped by for a swim and a burger. What fun!

This is my beautiful friend’s “halfburger.” I’m trying to get her to patent the name, but she just thinks I’m crazy. She is very dainty and lovely and half a burger is all she needs.

Me? Well, let’s just say I can easily handle an entire burger.

We just love summer at our house and when you’re prepared, fun can happen at any time!
