This holiday weekend is a fun time to try out something new on the barbie!

This recipe is for a Spicy Lime-Cilantro Marinated Flank Steak. But, you know you can use this marinade on any cut of beef – just pick your favorite!

I love the mix of onions, garlic and jalapeno chile pepper with lime and honey. This gets my mouth watering thinking of all the flavors infusing my steak.

Heaven.

So take some time this extended weekend and give this one a try. And have a fun, experimental holiday weekend!

It’s almost Labor Day. And somewhere it’s written that one must eat beef on Labor Day weekend.

Hey, I don’t write the rules, I just enforce them.

So, why not treat yourself to a gorgeous, grilled steak on your day of rest?

I like great quality meat. But I like a good bargain, too. And I have to start planning for Labor Day now. It will sneak up on me.

So this Labor Day holiday I’m going to stock up on some of our neighborhood favorites – because inevitably, the neighborhood ends up in our back yard.

I really love that because I like being in control. I’m neurotic that way. We have burgers, steaks and chicken. Everyone’s happy.

We eat the food I like, listen to the music I enjoy – you get the picture. So why wouldn’t I want the festivities at my house? What’s a few crumbs on the counter among friends when I can make sure I have Teriyaki sauce for my ribeye? See how that works?

I’m looking forward to Labor Day because it’s that last grasp at a summer feeling. People are off work, it’s still warm out where we live and folks are in the mood to have fun. I like that.

So come on, Labor Day! I’m ready for ya!

I’m just not ready for you to be over.
