I truly had never considered this one before. But now? Well, the possibilities are endless!

This recipe for Philly Cheesesteak Muffins defies all boundaries of what a muffin should be. And yet, it doesn’t.

Why NOT serve tender meat in muffin form?

I am broadening my horizons and realizing that just because I’ve never done something before doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done.

I’m growing.

Shall we grow together?

The recipe’s author, Gloria Hander Lyons, espouses the view that basically anything can be made into a muffin. Her booklet, Your Favorite Meals in a Muffin, is sheer genius.

Try it and let me know the verdict. Think of how handy these babies would be when you’re on the go!

I’m dying to know what you think!

THIS, my friends, is what’s known as baseball steak. And with the World Series revving up between the Rangers and Cardinals, what better time to serve them as a nod to America’s pastime?

The baseball steak is most often Top Sirloin, at least 2 inches thick, and it gets its name from the puffed up shape it has when it’s cooked. Much like a baseball!

Yours can be served with or without bacon, but really, when there’s a choice do you really say no to bacon?

Livestrong.com has a great page on several different ways to cook a baseball steak – complete with all the steps and ingredients you’ll need. Check it out here.

So get your Top Sirloin out (you can order some great beef here) and let’s play ball!
