My husband and I usually sit down on Sunday afternoon and do a rough meal plan for the week.  It makes it easier for me because it cuts down on multiple trips to the grocery store.  It also keeps us from saying “so… what do you want for dinner?” 15 minutes before dinnertime.

Ultimate Stuffed Shells recipe - pasta shells stuffed with cheese, beef, mushroom and olives

While discussing this past week’s meals I suggested maybe we do stuffed shells.  My husband reported that he didn’t recall ever having them.  That response sealed the deal for me, and I decided that stuffed shells would definitely be on the menu. Continue reading »

I love early fall.  The leaves turn, the weather cools off, and football season starts.  One of the best ways to combine all those things? Tailgating!

I’ve been grilling since high school pretty much anything I could throw over fire.  Pizza, burgers, corn.

Growing up my Mom always made some really yummy meatballs.  They were served up at most family potlucks or gatherings and often disappeared faster than anything else.  I know they were certainly one of my favorite things offered.

She called them German Meatballs, but I’m not sure where she got the name from.  To me, they’re much more like a Sweet and Sour meatball, so that’s what I’m sharing them with you all as.  The only thing you’ll really care about calling them, is delicious.

It’s a Beef Stew Recipe Rehab with Certified Angus Beef®

I participated in a beef stew recipe campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Certified Angus Beef® brand. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

I think it’s cold almost everywhere in the country.  Between all the snow, the cold, and the ice, all my family has been craving are warm, hearty meals.  At the top of the list have been soups, stews, and chilis, with the occasional roast and steak thrown in.

When I reach for a recipe that calls for beef, I always look for the Certified Angus Beef® brand, which is a cut above USDA Prime, Choice and Select grades.  The logo indicates that the beef has met 10 standards for premium quality, including abundant marbling.  Marbling is the little white flecks you see in the meat before cooking; they actually melt during the cooking process, basting the beef from the inside-out.
