Ground beef. It is inexpensive, quick to cook, and flavorful. Well, the 80/20 version is flavorful. That 20% fat content makes it flavorful since fat carries flavor. Because we are eating all that fat, it is important to ensure it is the highest quality fat, found in organic, humanely raised, or grass-fed cows as these…

These are baked, so while they are baking, it is easy to make a quick stir-fry, salad, or slaw to serve along side. Today, I served these…

Rather than spending half the day in the car battling traffic on the way to the shore, we decided to have a stay-cation in the relaxing comfort of home.
