This Friday is a Friday the 13th. So what better time to plan ahead for that superstitious day than now?

Of course I relate everything to food so here’s what comes to mind for me…

Garlic!

The old thought goes that garlic will ward off bad spirits and prevent someone from giving you the “Evil Eye.”

Want to keep away demons, werewolves and vampires? Get a little garlic.

So for me, I’ll make it easy on myself and just cook with the stuff. How about Garlic Steaks? Yes, please!

This steak recipe makes the most sense on a day filled with superstition. And, hey, it couldn’t hurt, right?

Try it – just to be sure you won’t be visited by any vampires this Friday. 🙂

Feast your eyes upon the most beautiful – and delicious – steakburger this household has ever seen!

It is a most masterful creation. And I can’t even take credit for this one. My mother lovingly crafted this baby and we almost didn’t want to eat it. We didn’t want to disturb its beauty and grandeur.

But we ate it anyway.

I mean, let’s see, we’ve got bacon (drool), avocado (good for you) and cheese (makes everything better) on top of a meaty steakburger.

I can’t see anything wrong with this picture.

Try this one yourself. But try to control yourself a little better than we did. We wished we had more time with it before it was gone.

Maybe you’ll have more luck.

But fat chance.

Enjoy!

September is All American Breakfast Month.

And that works for me. There pretty much isn’t a breakfast food I don’t love. So why not celebrate it all month?

But one thing is up in the air:  We can’t all seem to agree on what exactly makes an “All American Breakfast.”

I suppose it’s whatever makes you happy.

To some, it’s oatmeal, grapefruit, nuts, milk and juice.

For me, it MUST include bacon. And eggs. And toast. Plus orange juice.

But, I cannot forget about our friends who enjoy the mighty steak and egg breakfast. Especially Kansas steaks. Can you imagine USDA prime steaks for breakfast? My mouth is watering right now.

Or ham and eggs. Now THAT’S a breakfast!

We can’t forget about pastries, bagels and donuts also. And cereal!

So with all that swirling in your mind, what does the All American Breakfast mean to you?

The great thing is, if you don’t already know you can take all month to figure it out!
