As these football playoffs continue, my mind is always on food. I like to eat while watching games – well, and while doing basically anything.

It reminds me of another epic battle:  The one between burgers and dogs.

There are voracious supporters in either camp, but which one is the real winner?

Well, whoever gets to eat it, is what I say!!!!

The ones I like – burgers AND dogs – are all made with beef. So, to me, everyone wins.

But in this poll, burgers were the clear winner in preference.

So what’s your vote? Burgers or hot dogs?

No one can predict the future . . . or can they?

The editors of Eatocracy are making some food predictions for 2014 that are raising some eyebrows.

Okay, maybe just one brow – my left one.

Things like breakfast for dinner? Cool.

Rice making a comeback? Yes, sir.

But beef in the raw? Well, I’ve never really been a tartare kinda gal.

The beef part I’m onboard with.

Read on to see all of their predictions for a tasty new year.

I’m looking forward to MOST of it!

The New Year is always a good time to reevaluate things we’re doing and making shifts where needed.

So many of us need to watch our waistlines. So how can we do that as steak lovers?

Lean cuts of steak!

Some of my faves are these steaks and beef certified by the American Heart Association to be extra lean.

There are Top Sirloin steaks, steak tips, ground beef patties and more. A great start.

So, you’ve got some lean beef. Now how do you cook it?

Here are some fantastic ideas from Chef Richard Chamberlain – Great Grilling With Lean Beef.

He’s got Mushroom Merlot Burgers for you. And Dijon-Wine Steak Kabobs.

Delish!

Try these out and let’s all have a healthier 2014!
