Mother’s Day is next week!

If the moms in your life are anything like me (hey, I’m a mom) the way to her heart is through her stomach.

This method is not just for men, I promise.

If I were to receive, say, a Mother’s Day gift, here are some of MY Gifts for the Steak Enthusiast Mom faves:

1. Filet Mignon. Make Mom a beautiful dinner (see above) – she’ll eat it up!

2. Gift her some Bake & Serve Gourmet meals like Beef Wellington. YOU can serve the first meal to her, then stock her up for the rest of the month when she’s got to feed YOU. These are easy peasy – just bake . . . and serve!

3. Wanna get REALLY fancy pants on her? Cook her a steak with Wagyu Kobe beef. Pick her favorite cut and really spoil her with this delicacy.

4. A Monthly Steak Plan. Yes, it’s the gift that keeps on giving – 3, 6 or 12 month delivery!

5. Give her a gift card and SHE can pick the steaks she loves most! It doesn’t get easier than that.

Have fun celebrating the moms in your life!

The guests are coming! The guests are coming!

Overnight guests = lotsa cooking.

And it’s not just the holiday meal we have to prepare for, it’s multiple breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, appetizers, desserts – it’s non-stop eating!

I KNOW it’s not just my family.

So I like to try to be kind to myself and get a game plan ahead of time.

My go-to dinners? Burgers (always easy and always a hit) and Bake & Serve meals like the Roast Chicken with Apple and Tart Cherry you see above.

So tasty – and you just pop them in the oven! Voila! Gourmet!

Check out other tasty Bake & Serve ideas here like Beef Wellington and Chicken Cordon Bleu.

And have a merrier holiday without all the stress!

It’s the all-important back-to-school time!

Around my house, we like it but then we don’t like it.

We DON’T like it because that means summer is over and colder weather is looming. 🙁

Also? Hectic, hectic schedules. Homework, activities . . .

We DO like it because it’s a new school year full of exciting new beginnings. And the arguing between kids goes way down. We’re simply too busy.

Which gets me to my next subject. DINNER.

That’s always a tough one when we’re going in four different directions at night.

But that’s why I love Bake & Serve Gourmet meals when school starts. Literally, you pop them in the oven and then serve.

Plus, they’re really delicious! One of my all-time faves is Beef Wellington. So, so yummy.

There are lots of other great options like brisket, ham, baby back ribs, etc.

Check ’em out and save yourself some back-to-school headaches! I will be stocking up for sure!
