Meat

Cottage bacon isn't a very common known meat.  Some meat shops offer it, others don't.  I discovered it a while back at Kosher's Kitchen in Gilbert MN and it has become my favorite way to eat bacon.  Just the other day, we made gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and this time we used cottage bacon.  It's fantastic!

I'm skeptical.  I'm the kinda girl that has a three day limit on leftovers.  I ran out of salami and hummus, my two staple lunches so I dug around in the freezer and found a package of fully cooked brats.  While I was putting that and a tortilla (that's what I was going to use instead of a bun) I noticed the expiration date and wondered if I should just go hungry.

Normally, I would be like 'WHAT?  HOW LAZY ARE YOU THAT YOU CAN'T BROWN HAMBURGER?'  But, after getting over the shock of seeing  fully cooked ground beef in a can, I'm was thinking this might not be a bad idea, until I tried it!

If you've always been one to be a little different, one to go against the normal grain, then do I have a Taste of Home recipe for you!  Instead of buffalo flavored wings at your Super Sunday party, make buffalo flavored meatballs!

My time to cook, bake and grill is always limited.  It's spaghetti, ramen, pizza or a salad at our house most of the time.  When I do find myself with an evening to cook a nice meal I head to the grocery store and try to find something we don't get very often.  There's always a nice selection of raw meat to choose from in the meat section of our local grocery stores, but how do I prepare it?

I'm one of those people that actually ORDER meatloaf at a restaurant.  Love it!  But, usually give it up during the summer months for lots of reasons.  For example, we start making hamburger patties for the grill or it's too hot to start the oven.  I was excited to stumble upon this Taste of Home recipe for meatloaf that is GRILLED and stuffed with my faves, mushrooms and butter!  Give it a shot t

On Friday the Federal Government warned of a two week shut down of the meat industry. Spending cuts as part of the fiscal cliff agreement will not allocate money for meat inspectors on March 1, which could collapse the meat (includting pork and poultry) producers.

Make THIS Labor Day barbecue especially memorable with a Taste of Home recipe!  Barbecue sauce is just like chili, there's a lot of different variations and when you find one the family likes, you stick to it.  I've got your favorite right here!  (I used ribs without the bone).  ENJOY!

Given the choice, many of us would buy local before considering to purchase our food, goods and other items from other states or countries.  So, it's a good feeling to know that there are organizations available to help keep our local businesses up-to-date on the proper management for health and safety reasons...

There’s nothing better than a nice ice cream cone on a hot midsummer day — unless, of course, it’s made from scoops of raw ground beef. Sweet Meat, a succulent new project by artist Jasmin Schuller, transforms meat products into deceptively yummy-looking goodies, like slices of cake, popsicles and petits fours.

Would you eat this?  I'm sorry.  I don't care how health conscious I try to be, even if it's low fat and higher protein I just don't think I can eat poop.  I can't believe I even just wrote that sentence!   If you think meatless, genetically-modified (GM) soy food products are a poor alternative to real meat, wait until you see the latest in vegetarian meat replacement technology.
