You know how your mom always told you to clean your plate?

I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem with this one.

This steak chili has a distinct stick-to-your-ribs quality that is extra appealing at this time of year. I know I’m always trying to find ways to stay warm.

The smoked paprika and chili powder give it the kick we all want, plus a little something more.

Make a huge batch of this to share and to freeze for later. I always like it when I have yumminess on hand on those days when I just don’t have enough time to make something spectacular. And with two busy kids, well, let’s just say that happens a lot.

If you’re looking to cook something a little different this weekend, try this flavorful boneless ribeye steak recipe from Chef Marcus Samuelsson of Good Morning America.

It would seriously be a good morning if you served this up with some eggs and fixins the next day.  Just sayin’.

Try this paprika-y, garlicky seasoning and tell me what you think. This just might become your favorite new way to cook a steak!

Sandra Lee is famous for knowing what she’s doing in the kitchen. That’s why I defer to her and anyone else with an authority in that area. I need to follow directions in the kitchen.

If I don’t, the results are disastrous.

So…this recipe for coffee-crusted beef tenderloin appeared on Good Morning America and it sounds absolutely divine. Get your beef tenderloin here for optimal results.

You won’t be sorry.

Thank you, Sandra Lee, for saving my kitchen from an explosion. I owe ya one.

Let me know how YOU enjoy this!
