BBQ Christmas Cheer

A bit of levity for your tree – and it’s got steak on it!

This glass ornament from TJ’s includes a BBQ grill with corn, a burger, steak and something green that is unidentifiable.

Anybody know what that is?

No matter. The burger and steak are what’s important here.

Don’t you want to hang them on your tree?

This officially qualifies as totally awesome.

Merry Steakmas?!?!!!

USDA Allows More Meat at School

Now THAT’S some meat! Bacon-wrapped filet mignon and crabcakes.

Now, this is not the kind of thing served in the school cafeteria (especially with the white wine pairing) but we’re one step closer to it with the USDA allowing more meat at lunchtime.

Believe me, I’ll bet there are some students who would LOVE to see that plate above in the cafeteria line. Minus the wine.

It won’t be quite that good, but the Agricultural Department plans to do away with the limits on meat in school lunches. They’ll scrap the maximum daily and weekly limits that were previously imposed.

Parents and lawmakers complained that students weren’t getting enough meat to satisfy their hunger.

Sad.

Some students even put together this pro-meat video to voice their distaste for the limits. Absolute genius.

I particularly love the “I Heart Beef” T-shirt the kid is wearing.

Say it loud! Say it proud!

Well, for once, their efforts struck a chord and the limits have been banished.

Free speech rocks.

Mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Carry on, meat eaters!

Beef Brisket for Hanukkah

The Festival of Lights is going on right now. And among the many traditions of this beautiful holiday is the beloved food.

Beef brisket is chief among the amazing dishes served during this time and David Feder, a food writer in Buffalo Grove, IL, has put a new twist on this traditional favorite for Hanukkah.

It’s flavored with apricots and prunes for a slightly different taste. Isn’t it fun to change it up just a bit? Check out the entire beef brisket recipe and try it this year!

Feder suggests serving it with fluffy couscous and some garlicky green beans. Put your own stamp on it and make it a family favorite people will ask for year after year.

Sounds like a winner to me!
