I hope you’re having a great Labor Day weekend. We are.

(And if you are still reading this from New Orleans — please, please go north. Like now.)

Basically, we are having a festival of meat here with our family to celebrate a little time to kick back and share the foods we love.

Yesterday we had spaghetti and meataballas with my parents and we all left quite full and satisfied.

Meat always makes everything better. And we used this ground beef with the onions already in it. I love it because it eliminates a step – and that makes me happy.

Today, we are grilling burgers for lunch and steaks for dinner. Hello, meat! Welcome to my stomach!

My husband’s birthday was this weekend and we decided to wait to celebrate it tonight when relatives are gone and kids are in bed. Peaceful. And meaty.

We can’t wait. Enjoy your Labor Day and stay safe!

So, Labor Day weekend is upon us. That means you’d better have all your weekend vittles marinating and defrosting.

And get that grill ready cuz it is time to use it!

After this, much of the country will start to get colder in the coming weeks so you’d better make the most of this precious time we have right now. And get outside! Your grill is calling.

What’s it calling for, you may ask?

I think you know.

Really? You don’t know?

Steak.

Are you new here?

If so — welcome! We’ll help you figure out what Labor Day is calling for. Is it T-bones? Steakburgers?

Click on the “Recipes” tab up at the top. That’s a great place to start.

And check out this article from today on abcnews.com. It’s got lots of ideas for this weekend.

Enjoy your time off and revel in the deliciosity that is steak. I know I will be. I’ll post photos of what I’ll be eating next week.

You can bet beef will be involved. Oh, yeah.

Have a great Labor Day, everybody!
