Put Some Spring in Your Steak

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!

You can order AHA-certified steaks here and try all the different offerings — steakburgers, steaks and Top Sirloin tips. Yummo!

And, uh, if you create a really delicious recipe with these, please share it here! We’re always looking for something different to try.

Happy spring, everybody!

Surprising Facts About Lean Beef

You love beef. But you’ve heard the nonsense about red meat.

There’s some great information out this month debunking some myths we’ve heard. Just click here to read it.

It’s great news and it always helps to arm yourself with the facts.

Here’s one of my favorites:  Lean beef eaten every day as part of a heart-healthy diet can lower LDL cholesterol levels (you know, the bad stuff) by as much as 10 percent.

That’s awesome!

My favorite extra lean beef are these AHA-certified babies.

Stay healthy, my friends. And keep eating your beef!

Heart Healthy Valentine

 

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but you can make a pledge to your sweetie that will last well beyond Tuesday’s holiday.

February is American Heart Month and the emphasis is on keeping us all heart healthy. The older I get, the more I think about this. I want my ticker – and my honey’s ticker – to stay healthy forever.

So…now is the perfect time to try these heart healthy steaks and beef tips. They’re certified by the American Heart Association and they are leaner cuts than you’d find on just any old steaks.

Pretty cool.

Some of them are seasoned heart healthy steaks and some are unseasoned. I think I’ll try the seasoned ones for a little extra kick.

Speaking of KICKING, I’m ramping up the exercise, too. I’m serious about this.

There’s nothing more romantic than a gesture that says, “I want you around for as long as possible!”

Click here to check out all the details on these AHA certified steaks. Enjoy!
