Hungry. Must. Eat. Steak.

Don’t you feel like this little guy sometimes? Like, “For the love of all that is good will someone please grill me a steak!!?”

I end up feeling that way by Friday most weeks. I just need something that will make me happy – and steak ALWAYS does the trick.

I slow down. I savor it. And all is right with the world.

That’s how I know my husband really loves me because he will grill a steak for me in rain, sleet or snow. And he has.

May YOUR weekend feature the word “steak” and be filled with love – and maybe some basketball, too.

Happy first weekend in March, everyone!

Are you thinking about Easter yet? It’ll be here before we know it. It’s on March 31st this year!

If you’re feeling lucky, enter this contest from the Kansas City Steak Company for your chance to win a complete Easter dinner – Smoked Ham or Prime Rib, Twice Baked Potatoes and Carrot Cake or Red Velvet Cake.
