The big game is a time to gather friends, watch some football and – EAT!

Philly and Green Bay are both places that appreciate a good, hearty meal. And if we’re being honest, the eating is the most important part of Super Bowl Sunday for those of us not playing in the game. And for me and my crew, beef is always on the menu.

Read up on some creative ways to keep your guests full and happy here. Try new dishes like grilled steak sandwiches and Chinese beef and rice that you’ve never thought about for a Super Bowl party!

If you’re not careful, you’ll be hosting the party EVERY YEAR from now on!!!

You know you love it.

Okay, so this photo won’t be on any magazine covers anytime soon. I took it with my cell phone on a date with my husband.

But it documents a wonderful evening where steak was on the menu and actual conversation was had. Best. Date. Ever.

Where is the green on my plate, you ask? Well, there WAS a huge orange carrot at one time (which I moved), does that count?

Listen, we had no kids with us and I did not want to eat my veggies that night. So there.

What about you? Is steak on your date night menu? Valentine’s Day is coming up . . . do you have a steak meal in mind for your sweetie?
