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

While I'm not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day (*ahem* Singles Awareness Day), I can always get behind some chocolate covered strawberries, no matter the time of year! Even better — they are about the easiest treat to make and only require three ingredients.

Baked Honeycrisp Apples

Baked apples aren't typically a "wow" of the dessert world. But I'd like to help you change your opinion on that with some baked Honeycrisp apples. These baked apples are perfectly cooked (not mushy!) still retain a slight al dente feel to them, but have all the taste and goodness of hot apple pie. And they're super easy to make! Not a lot of prep, no crust to toil over and roll out — what's not to like?

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.
