Fire up the Grill!

Did you read the recent article by Mary Vallis on nationalpost.com that states "A new review from the Harvard School of Public Health published in the online edition of Circulation found each ounce of processed meat eaten--such as bacon, sausage, hot dogs and lunch meat--led to a 42% high risk of heart disease and a 19% higher risk of type 2 diabetes.
BUT THE TEAM DID NOT FIND ANY INCREASED RISK OF HEART DISEASE OR DIABETES AMONG PEOPLE WHO ATE UNPROCESSED MEAT, INCLUDING STEAK."

Ok, I confess. I didn't read it either. Daughter-in-love Becca brought the article to my attention! Thank you, Becca!

Sooooooo, FIRE UP THE GRILL! Enjoy that juicy T-Bone! We did last night. It is so easy, too!
I just seasoned the T-Bones with Emeril's All Natural Steak Rub. Randy seared the steaks to hold the juices in and then closed the grill lid to let them cook to a medium----in just a few minutes they were ready!!!!! I served steamed and buttered brocolli with the steaks and we enjoyed supper outside. Beethoven, our faithful St. Bernard, enjoyed the T-bones, too! The pastures are lucious this summer because of the abundant rainfall and the verdant backdrop of leafy trees and tall grasses provide a peaceful setting for a tasty meal and good conversation. I'll tell you about the conversation tomorrow...
