Remember when you used to make an ashtray out of popsicle sticks for dear old Dad for Father’s Day?

Not such a great idea.

Well, you can still make him something homemade – but this time, he’ll REALLY enjoy it.

Try making him a homemade steak rub (along with a really good cut of meat).

Here’s a fantabulous recipe that will make Dad very, very happy this Sunday. It’s got garlic powder, red chili flakes and lots of other good stuff to make a tasty and memorable steak.

Think of the smiles and tears and accolades for years to come! This will be a Father’s Day to remember. And you won’t have to wait in line at Denny’s.

Seriously, THIS homemade gift will be a Father’s Day home run!

So, I just found out that June (yes, THIS month) is National Beef Steak Month!

How did I miss this? It just snuck up on me!

So, in honor of this very special month (and, well, because I just love a good steak recipe) here’s a step-by-step guide to a scrumptious summer salad featuring this month’s star:  STEAK!

It’s got grilled herbed steak mixed with tender couscous.

That word always makes me laugh. Couscous.

So get out there and celebrate this weekend! Your beef steak will be very honored – and your appetite will be very, very pleased.

It’s tried and true. How can you go wrong with sliders on a sunny, holiday weekend?

Answer:  You can’t.

Try this recipe for scrumptious goodness on a bun – which includes the ever-popular bacon and some tasty seasonings.

Your crew will be happy and so will you!

Bon appetit, my friends! And have a safe and flavorful holiday weekend!

Let’s all remember the reason for the holiday as well. We have much to be thankful for.
