“Let’s do something with ground beef. We almost never eat it.” And he’s right. Recipes using ground beef are few and far between around here. I participated in Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker Program this month and was tasked with presenting four recipes starring lean beef for the Texas Beef Council.

Creamy Lemon Artichoke Pasta

This dish from So Tasty So Yummy is one of our new favorite discoveries. It has all the goodies: chicken, bacon, pasta, artichokes, lemon, and just a little cream.

Penne with Parmesan, Pepper, and Peppery Greens

Butternut Squash Risotto/Orzotto

I really enjoy making Foodie Baby’s baby food. Shocking, I know. Baby food is super easy. Bake or steam (I almost always baked), and then dump in the food processor and press On. Another bonus, it was insanely cheap. During peach season, I could score loads of peaches, plums, and nectarines on the cheap. A [...]
