Perfect pan-seared steak on the stove

Not too long ago, Wilsall, Montana-based Shields Valley Ranchers reached out to me asking if they could send me samples of their sustainably sourced beef. Their literature states that they raise their beef in Montana with “compassion, care, and sustainable practices.” I love me some steaks and burgers, and I especially appreciate compassion, care and sustainability when working with animals, so I was excited to try what they had offered to send me and share a recipe for the perfect pan-seared steak on the stove, too!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Healthy Green Smoothie

The dawn of a new year traditionally invites people to clean the slate, so to speak. And many folks use this as an opportunity to introduce healthy practices into their lifestyle. (Happy New Year, by the way!) While I'm a huge proponent of living mindfully and healthfully, I'm also not one to push for diets or fads or changes that cause you to just beat yourself up. That's the opposite of healthy. All that said, if you want to introduce some better choices into your routine, whipping up this healthy green smoothie is a great way to start!

Browned Brussels Sprouts with Lemon

One of my all time favorite side dishes to celebrate autumn harvest and to make for holiday celebrations is browned Brussels sprouts with lemon. These are so good I could easily eat the entire recipe all in one sitting. (But shhh, don't tell anyone I said that.) And Albertsons is your simple solution for your own holiday planning. You can purchase ingredients for your holiday meals (like these Brussels sprouts), prepared foods from the bakery and service deli, holiday treats, party trays, décor, greeting cards, gift supplies, etc. — all from Albertsons.

Healthy Blackberry Jam

One of the easiest things we can do with the abundance of summertime fresh produce (including fresh blackberries) is to make an easy, healthy blackberry jam with it! I'm also a fan of reducing the amount of refined sugar in my diet, so this recipe speaks to that desire by replacing refined sugar with nature's candy - honey.
