You might think chili is just a little ground beef and some spices, but oh it’s so much more!

So much so that today is National Chili Day! Hooray!

Did you know that the first documented recipe for chili con carne was in 1519? 1519!!!

I’d say we as a people have been enjoying this scrumptious dish for a VERY long time!

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.

I, for one, would LOVE to have my Easter dinner planned out ahead of time. Saves me from scrambling to fit it into all the millions of other things going on in my life.

It sure will be nice to slow down and have a beautiful meal with the ones I love, though. And on cue, my stomach is growling.

Let me know if you’re the lucky winner of the complete meal giveaway. My family and I would love to join you. 😉

Good luck!

Will this be you this weekend? Grilling in the snow?

I’ve done it. Nothing stops me from a juicy steak when I’ve got a hankering.

If you’ll be snow grilling this weekend, try one of these awesome steak rubs.

Because if you’re gonna trudge out in the snow you’d better make the steak go-o-o-od! And these rubs just might do the trick.

Have a great weekend, everybody!
