Recipe Week - Go Ahead and Beef It Up!
Ok, so you shouldn't eat beef everyday of the week but like I say.. you can have anything you want in moderation.. if you love beef like I do and can't live without your red meat.. go ahead and enjoy it once or twice a week. Just try to choose lean cuts and use the palm rule.. your serving shouldn't be any bigger than the palm of your hand. Mix it up with lots of grilled vegetables, whole wheat pasta or rice and you have an awesome dinner.
