More Fun Playing With Grass Fed Beef

Last night, we had our first taste of the hamburger patties we got from Brandon Smith of Wayne Cattle Company. They were fantastic! And good for you - grass fed beef is low in fat and saturated fat, but has a great beefy flavor.

The quarter pound burgers were a little thin, so they cooked very fast. We seasoned them with salt, pepper, and some of Emeril's "Baby Bam" hamburger spice and Bob grilled them on the Weber. Placed upon fresh buns from The Mustard Seed Market, with large slices of beautiful tomato and onions - it made a special dinner.









Instead of the traditional fries - I took my second shot at making stuffed squash blossoms, finishing off the Mackenzie Creamery cheese. I kept better control of the fry oil temperature (I had let it cool down too much the first time I made them) and the results were fabulous.

Fun Playing with Grass Fed Beef from Wayne Cattle Company

Last Saturday, Bob and I finally made it to the Geauga Farmers' Market, lured by an email from Brandon Smith, who is the heart and soul behind Wayne Cattle Company, purveyors of fabulous grass-fed Longhorn beef. It was more of a market preview, with only three vendors there. But I was so grateful to Brandon for getting me to locate this market - it is only a few miles from my house, which I hadn't realized.

And - we got what we went for - some of Brandon's fantastic grass fed beef. We also saw Courtney from Herbthyme and picked up some yummy lettuce and some basil plants (lemon and lime basil).

We couldn't wait - we had to defrost a couple of steaks for Saturday's dinner!
