ground beef

I'm sorry to have to tell you that another recall on ground beef has been issued, this time by a Wisconsin company called American Foods Group.

Ninety-six thousand pounds of beef were voluntarily recalled after two people became ill, possibly from E.coli. These cases are being investigated by the Illinois Department of Health. The meat was sold in seven states including Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Virginia.

The meat was produced on Oct. 10 and labeled with "Est. 18076" inside the USDA mark of inspection. If you have questions about the recall, check out the USDA's Web site or call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854).

Is it just me, or are these constant recalls making you scared to eat?

It's a deconstructed version of the classic shepherd's pie, but without all the chopping and stirring. Get the recipe now, read more

Most of the time, classic Tex-Mex food is full of delicious flavors and tons of fatty cheese and starchy chips. However, making Tex-Mex at home allows you to control the ingredients. For tonight's simple and scrumptious dinner, cereal provides crunch, low fat cheese is used in moderation, and large peppers replace flour tortillas. All of these substitutions help create a more health conscious dinner. To get the recipe to this beautifully presented meal, read more

On a busy work night, one of my favorite things to do is whip up breakfast for dinner. An omelet full of meat (or beans), tomatoes and potatoes is a hearty and filling dish, and yet whips up together in very little time. You can use ground beef, or leftover beanburger, as the main protein, or change it to suit your needs. For a simple recipe for a jampacked omelet, read more
