    Today is National Meatball Day, so I thought I would share MY PERSONAL meatball recipe.  After I researched many recipes for the perfect, EASY meatball, I have designed this recipe.  Let me know if you try them.

    Guinness Beef Stew For a Winter Day

    February 12, 2016

    I have made this Cook’s Country, Guinness Beef Stew several times. It is not difficult and has velvety texture that is great with bread on a cold winter night. It was the last meal I made from scratch for my mother, before she passed away. She loved it. She was eating very little, up until that day. It is not a quick dinner, so it is ideal for a weekend – but it is so worth the effort. Ideal for a cold-weekend winter day. This will take time to prepare, but is so worth it. See another stew recipe at Bachelor Beef Stew.

    Easy steak rub/marinade

    February 2, 2016

    Last night, we shared a porterhouse steak cooked on the gas grill.  It was amazing.  I came up with a new marinade that was EASY and flavorful. Blot dry your steak with paper towels to allow your rub to adhere. Using our tenderizer, I pressed holes into the steak to allow the marinade to soak in. Liberally sprinkle your rub on the steak, pressing down the herbs to adhere.  I used Dizzy Pigs “Raise the Steaks”   Place steak in a zip lock bag. Wisk together:  3 T. of your rub;   1/4 cup of port wine;   1/4 cup of good extra virgin olive oil; 3 T. of worcestershire sauce;    3 T.…
