Tuscan Roasted Steak Spiedini

In celebration of American Heart Month, here’s a great recipe using steaks certified by the American Heart Association to be extra lean.

This Tuscan Roasted Steak Spiedini is possibly the yummiest way I know of to honor this month dedicated to heart health. It’s got all sorts of Tuscan-inspired flavors.

You can see the heart healthy steak recipe here, try it at home and then toast, “To your health!” this month.

Cel-e-brate good times, come on! 🙂

Disappearing Menu Items

Some favorite dishes are fading fast from restaurant menus. But why?

Apparently, tastes change over time and, as is the case in this day and age, we simply don’t want to take the time for complicated recipes and cooking techniques.

An article at TheDailyMeal.com tells us about 11 menu items quickly disappearing. Two of which are Beef Stroganoff (yum!) and Salisbury Steak (double yum).

Sad, but the beautiful thing is . . . we can still make these dishes at home! And I don’t know about you, but I still do!

I love to use this Sweet Vidalia ground beef when I make Salisbury Steak. I mean, come on, the onions are already in it! Of course, you can use regular ground beef also and add your own onions to make it just the way you like.

Don’t depend on restaurants to dictate what “trends” you’ll be eating. Cook your favorites and let these classics live on!

Here’s one Beef Stroganoff recipe to try at home and here’s another.

Need to know how to cook a fab Salisbury Steak? Try this yummy recipe.

Read about all the disappearing menu items here and resolve to keep them alive in your home! I know I will!
